Need notifications

[DuendeInexistente]

It's the one glaringly missing feature, notifications. Also an Unread Messages banner on the server list like Discord has.

whats the unread messages banner? the NEW thing?

[DuendeInexistente]

Yeah the NEW thing.

I kind of would prefer not to have notifications... or if we have them, the ability to turn them off would be appreciated. That's one of the things that drives me crazy about the official client.

Nothing wrong with having an option for them though.

i think itll be both compile time and runtime optional if i get to it since im probably going to have to drag in another dependency anyways

Hello,

Any news on this ?

This is actually critical, because I've discovered the worst way, that when Abaddon is connected, I won't receive mobile notifications either, since my computer is (rightfully) considered to be my currently active device.

Thanks

you can probably mitigate it by changing the timeout to 1 minute in the notifications settings. and when we say notifications do we want just sounds or fully fledged desktop notifications?

changing the timeout to 1 minute in the notifications settings

Where do I find that option ?

fully fledged desktop notifications?

That.

Where do I find that option ?

official discord app > notifications > push notification inactive timeout dont know if it will work well but its something for the time being i guess

That's not a desktop notification :sweat_smile:

Also, it would be nice to focus the app and open the channel when clicking it.

Thanks

notifications are implemented with Gio, which in practice will use the freedesktop.org spec (which by the specification should specifically not look like your image lol), so ultimately its up to your desktop environment to determine what that looks like. maybe if you tell me which DE/notification server youre using i can try to help but i dont think theres a lot i can do code-wise.

also, it will bring you to the channel when clicking on it assuming your notification server supports actions

[KaKi87]

tell me which DE/notification server youre using

My desktop environment is Unity 7.6, on the Ubuntu Unity 22.04 distro.

I don't know about notification server.

I'll try on another computer using Cinnamon on Linux Mint 21, see if it's any better.

Thanks
