| Feature request: Allow using D-Bus for Desktop Notifications | ||||||
| Reported by estebank@google.com, Aug 24 2010 | Back to list | |||||
Window manager: KDE / GNOME What is the expected result? * Chrome's Desktop Notifications[1] appearing on the Desktop Manager notification widget, for example, KDE's[2]. What happens instead? * The Desktop Notifications appear alien and inconsistently with the rest of the desktop. Please provide any additional information below. Reading the Specification[1], I saw this comment: > On Mac and Linux, we considered to use 3rd party notification > libraries, but have determined that having a unified HTML-capable > interface is a better course, so Chrome will render HTML > notifications on these platforms as well. Even if that is a valid reasoning, it could be a good idea to provide a way to use D-Bus on Linux to keep the consistency of the desktop.

On Gnome desktop notifications can use Pango markup to provide additional options. It's not exactly HTML but it's not plain text either.

We have some discussion of this in the tech FAQ: http://dev.chromium.org/developers/linux-technical-faq Unfortunately, the notifications API is too weak to support the sorts of notifications seen in the spec. There is an extension that tries to implement support here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nmgdlkljbfeeinemfljcbmnkmbeligmn but as seen in the comments there, users are unhappy that they can't click on the notifications (on Ubuntu) or that some sites use extended APIs that cause their notifications to not go through the system notifier.
