Works on Sway. mako implements the [FreeDesktop Notifications Specification][spec]. Feel free to join the IRC channel: [#emersion on irc.libera.chat][irc]. Running mako will run automatically when a notification is emitted. This happens via D-Bus activation, so you don't really need to explicitly start it up (this also allows delaying its startup time and speed up system startup). If you have several notification daemons installed though, you might want to explicitly start this one. Some ways of achieving this is: - If you're using Sway you can start mako on launch by putting exec mako in your configuration file. - If you are not using systemd, you might need to manually start a dbus user session: dbus-daemon --session --address=unix:path=$XDG RUNTIME DIR/bus Configuration mako can be extensively configured and customized - feel free to read more using the command man 5 mako For control of mako during runtime, makoctl can be used; see man makoctl Building Install dependencies: meson (build-time dependency) wayland pango cairo systemd, elogind or [basu] (for the sd-bus library) gdk-pixbuf (optional, for icons support) dbus (runtime dependency, user-session support is required) scdoc (optional, for man pages) Then run: I have a question!
