The Xfce Notify Daemon (xfce4-notifyd for short) is a smallish program that implements the "server-side" portion of the Freedesktop desktop notifications specification. Applications that wish to pop up a notification bubble in a standard way can implicitly make use of xfce4-notifyd to do so by sending standard messages over D-Bus using the org.freedesktop.Notifications interface.

It's recommended use xfce4-notifyd with a compositing manager running; in that case xfce4-notifyd will look a bit nicer and will be semi-transparent and will fade out, and other nice pretty things. This isn't required by any means, of course.

Configuration:

Run xfce4-notifyd-config to display the settings dialog. There aren't any other tunables; if you don't see it in the settings dialog, it's not changeable.

Theming:

Xfce4-notifyd uses gtk's standard theming system. You can create new themes by creating a normal gtkrc file. See the example included themes for details of how to reference the various widgets present in a normal notification dialog. You'll want to put your gtkrc file in $HOME/.themes/THEMENAME/xfce4-notify-4.0 and then start up the configuration dialog to set the theme. If you think you've come up with a cool theme, feel free to send it to the author, and he'll be happy to include it in the next release. For themes shipped with xfce4-notifyd, author requires all parts of them to be redistributable under the terms of a license compatible with the GPLv2.
