Re: [STUMP] How to include Slack Notification into mode line

Upon reading the README.md I've realized the instructions could be written
in a
more straightforward manner. All you have to do for the contrib to work is
put
the following lines in your rc file.

(load-module "notify")
(notify-server-on) ; or (notify-server-toggle)

With that in your rc file show-notification would run every time a slack
notification, or any other notification, is sent. In the case of
show-notification that means using the message box that StumpWM for its
messages.

If you would like that the notification be displayed in a different manner
you
would have to change the function stored in *notification-received-hook*
(which
incidentally is not a hook, hooks are lists of functions). For example
Ubuntu
comes with libnotify which you can use from the CLI through notify-send. One
could use libnotify by placing the following code it its rc-file after
loading
the notify module.

(defun libnotify-show-notification (app icon summary body)
  (stumpwm:run-shell-command
   (format nil "notify-send --app-name=~A --icon=~A \"~A\" \"~A\""
           app
           icon
           summary
           body)) )
(setf notify:*notification-received-hook* #'libnotify-show-notification)

Cheers
