Dunst: Set maximum image/icon size

Created on 19 Mar 2014  ·  6Comments  ·  Source: dunst-project/dunst

Add configuration options to set an upper limit for the size of icons and images.
This is needed for icon themes (#157) and svg icons (#150) in order to choose a fitting icon size.
For embedded images (#151) there should be an additional option to allow larger images than icons.

I mean no urge, just wondering is there any news on this? In some cases you can't control the images that gets sent with the notification (the most recent I encountered was with a javascript command runner, called "gulp"), and they get presented in their full size, sometimes taking up 1/3 of screen width.

Some method of scaling would be really helpful.

I'm trying to move over from another notification daemon and this feature would be wonderful to have.

This would be a wonderful addition. Currently Guard notifications are nigh unusable due to the large size of their icons. I'm going to check with them to see why their icons are so large, but it seems like this is something that should also be handled at the notification daemon level as well.

:+1:

@michaelherold, as a quick fix you can modify the icons for specific notifications with a rule. Match on "icon" and set a smaller/different icon with "new_icon".
