.IP "\fB\-to secs\fR" 4
.IX Item "-to secs"
defines the default timeout. Can be (partially) overridden by
the following options.
.IP "\fB\-lto/nto/cto secs\fR" 4
.IX Item "-lto/nto/cto secs"
timeouts for low/normal/critical messages.
.IP "\fB\-key key\fR" 4
.IX Item "-key key"

.IP "\fB\-all_key key\fR" 4
.IX Item "-all_key key"
remove all notifications by pressing key.
.IP "\fB\-history_key key\fR" 4
.IX Item "-history_key key"
redisplay last notification by pressing key.
.IP "\fB\-format fmt\fR" 4
.IX Item "-format fmt"
defines the format of the message. See \s-1FORMAT.\s0
.IP "\fB\-mon n\fR" 4
.IX Item "-mon n"
show the notification on monitor n.
.IP "\fB\-follow mode\fR" 4
.IX Item "-follow mode"
display notifications on focused monitor. Possible options are \*(L"mouse\*(R" to follow the mouse cursor, \*(L"keyboard\*(R" to follow the window with the keyboard focus and \*(L"none\*(R" to disable focus following. \*(L"mouse\*(R" and \*(L"keyboard\*(R" overwrite the \-mon option.
.IP "\fB\-s\fR" 4
.IX Item "-s"
sort messages by urgency.
.IP "\fB\-ns\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ns"
don't sort messages by urgency.
.IP "\fB\-geometry [{width}]x{height}][+/\-{x}+/\-{y}]\fR" 4
.IX Item "-geometry [{width}]x{height}][+/-{x}+/-{y}]"
The geometry of the message window. The height is measured
in lines everything else in pixels. If the width is omitted
but the height is given (\*(L"\-geometry x2\*(R"), the message window
expands over  the  whole  screen (dmenu-like).
If  width  is  0,  the  window  expands  to  the longest
message displayed. A positive x is measured from the left,
a negative from the right side of the screen.
Y is measured from the top and down respectevly.
see also \s-1EXAMPLES\s0 show the notification on monitor n.
.IP "\fB\-t/\-title title\fR" 4
.IX Item "-t/-title title"
Define the title of notification windows spawned by dunst.
.IP "\fB\-t/\-class class\fR" 4
.IX Item "-t/-class class"
Define the class of notification windows spawned by dunst.
.IP "\fB\-shrink\fR" 4
.IX Item "-shrink"
Shrink window if it's smaller than the width. Will be ignored if width is 0.
.IP "\fB\-lh/\-line_height\fR height" 4
.IX Item "-lh/-line_height height"
The height of a single line in pixel. If the height is smaller than the font height, it will get raised to the font height.
.IP "\fB\-print\fR" 4
.IX Item "-print"
Print notifications to stdout. This might be useful for logging, setting up rules or using the output in other scripts.
.IP "\fB\-v/\-\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "-v/--version"
print version information.
.IP "\fB\-config file\fR" 4
.IX Item "-config file"

.SH "FORMAT"
.IX Header "FORMAT"
fmt is a string containing placeholders. The placeholders will be replaced with the corresponding text, or if the text is not present, nothing. Possible placeholders are:

.IX Item "%p progress value ([ 0%] to [100%])"
.PD
.SH "COLORS"
.IX Header "COLORS"
Every option that needs a color as argument accepts #RGB, #RRGGBB and
X color names.
.SH "NOTIFY-SEND"
.IX Header "NOTIFY-SEND"
dunst is able to get different colors for a message via notify-send.
In order to do that you have to add a hint via the \-h option.
The progress value can be set with a hint, too.
.IP "notify-send \-h string:fgcolor:#ff4444" 4
.IX Item "notify-send -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444"
.PD 0
.IP "notify-send \-h string:bgcolor:#4444ff \-h string:fgcolor:#ff4444" 4
.IX Item "notify-send -h string:bgcolor:#4444ff -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444"
.ie n .IP "notify-send \-h int:value:42 ""Working ...""" 4
.el .IP "notify-send \-h int:value:42 ``Working ...''" 4
.IX Item "notify-send -h int:value:42 Working ..."
.PD
.SH "MISCELLANEOUS"
.IX Header "MISCELLANEOUS"
Dunst can be paused by sending a notification with a summary of \*(L"\s-1DUNST_COMMAND_PAUSE\*(R"\s0
and resumed with a summary of \*(L"\s-1DUNST_COMMAND_RESUME\*(R".\s0 Alternatively you can send \s-1SIGUSR1\s0 and \s-1SIGUSR2\s0 to pause and unpause respectivly. For Example:
.IP "killall \-SIGUSR1 dunst # pause" 4
.IX Item "killall -SIGUSR1 dunst # pause"
.PD 0
.IP "killall \-SIGUSR2 dunst # resume" 4
.IX Item "killall -SIGUSR2 dunst # resume"
.PD
.PP
When paused dunst will not display any notifications but keep all notifications in a queue.
This can for example be wrapped around a screen locker (i3lock, slock) to prevent flickering
of notifications through the lock and to read all missed notifications after returning to the computer.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION"
An example configuration file is included (usually /usr/share/doc/dunst/dunstrc.example.gz).
To change the configuration, copy this file to ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc and edit
it accordingly.
