🌱 herbe

Daemon-less notifications without D-Bus

Usage

herbe "This is a notification"

will display a notification for the duration set in config.h that says This is a notification

Installation

Dependencies

X11 (Xlib)
Xft
freetype2

The names of packages are different depending on which distribution you use. For example, if you use Void Linux you will have to install these dependencies:

sudo xbps-install base-devel libX11-devel libXft-devel

Build

git clone https://github.com/dudik/herbe
cd herbe
sudo make install

make install requires root privileges because it copies the resulting binary to /usr/local/bin. This makes herbe accessible globally.

You can also use make clean to remove the binary from the build folder, sudo make uninstall to remove the binary from /usr/local/bin or just make to build the binary locally.

Configuration

herbe is configured at compile-time by editing config.h. Every option should be self-explanatory. There is no height option because height is determined by font size and text padding.
