Using libnotify for error messages

Posted by Monty Taylor on January 20, 2010 at 04:34 PM

Any good piece of infrastructure software should be able to pop up little windows on your desktop. :)

Yesterday at LCA in Stewart's Hacking Drizzle talk, it occurred to me that error messages should pop up little windows on my desktop. So I wrote an error message plugin which uses libnotifymm to send Gnome pop-up window messages.

I don't always get to post screenshots, so here you go:
