I'm not sure if quickshell is capable of doing that, we just listen to notifications that we get from it. As far as I'm aware no other notification daemon gets the notifications from steam (I might be wrong though).

Also happen with Spotify's Show desktop notification when the song changes I'm pretty sure.

Spotify sends it directly through standard methods (at least on NixOS for me), which means that it gets picked up by notification daemons, including Noctalia's notification system. Steam in particular uses its own toasts system, avoiding the usage of something like notify-send entirely.

But it somehow doesn't work on my system. It's not like I need it but it's a bug we could improve Imo.

That might depend on package implementation, in that case. The actual Spotify program on my computer is provided through the NixOS Unstable package, so it's able to access system programs normally. The Spotify Flatpak over on Flathub isn't maintained by Spotify, so I'd assume that it either needs a permission set through either the main Flatpak functionality or something like Flatseal. It could also lack the functionality all together, due to it being wrapped.

Actually I'm not using the flatpak version, I'm using a package called spotify-launcher available on openSUSE main repo. So I don't know if there's a fix around on openSUSE.

That would depend on spotify-launcher's implementation, in that case. The openSUSE repositories don't look like they have the normal Spotify client in them.

It might be an issue on spotify-launcher's end.

Oh alright, thank you. But to my notice it works fine with other notification daemons like dunst or SwayNC.

In that case, it might be that spotify-launcher doesn't send the notification through the right specification. Quickshell appears to only support notifications sent through Freedesktop's notification specification (please correct me if I'm wrong on this, though).

Hmm I don't actually quite understand its behavior so I can't tell if ur right or wrong tho, but thanks for the feedbacks.

Not related to noctalia, that's a niri issue.
