Dunst: Application name based Geometry
Hi all,
I have a use-case that may not be super common but would be very helpful for me. I have some applications that I would like to use different geometry than the global geometry variable (e.g, 0x5-30+20 so these applications aren't width-limited) but others that I want to follow the global value.
Reason for this is some application notifications have a specific format that only looks right with a monospaced font and width is unpredictable. Like lining up columns.
Is this something possible or easy to add?

Consider that we have mpd-notification like here:

I agree that we must be able to set geometry dynamically. I'd say what is needed is ability to use geometry in category sections.

I too have a use-case for this feature. It would make dunst much more dynamic!

It seems like this feature isn't implemented yet? Too bad! I too have a use-case.
Today, I decided to experiment, and I discovered one can do something like: xdotool search --class Dunst windowmove 0 0 to move it.
However, the next time it opens, it'll be in that place again.
However, you can move it back to its default location later (like after calling sleep), and it doesn't have to be visible at the time.
I hope this helps some people (and doesn't have side-effects I haven't discovered yet).
