I changed the metadata.json to version 46 & it works.

I didn't test this extensively, but it looks like it's fully working.

The reason I installed this is that the default alert, dot, pushes other entries to the left, when the clock is on the right side (default is centre) of the TopBar. It seems that even I install this extension, the dot also appears. Since the user now has different colours for notification, I don't need they also need the dot. Shouldn't the dot be disabled?

Doesn't work under GNOME 41

related to #55 😄

This was suggested by an used on ego:

"""
The idea is good but it looks a bit weird: while it blinks in the top-right corner, the actual notification is opened not by pushing the presence icon. Probably if it were a red 1px line across the bottom edge of the screen it would be more intuitive.
"""

I think adding this as a preference would be great, so there'll be 2 options for alerts.

Currently, the notification flash won't stop unless you dismiss the notification. Often, I like to check the notifications but get to them later. Is it possible to configure the extension so it stops flashing if I open the panel but leave notifications?

"If you find any other any other weird behavior like that, please, file an issue here providing the name of the program in question that generated the notification."
Here you are: Spotify notifies about every started song, and triggers the alert. Would be nice to not to react on such notifications.

This is a proposed enhancement, not a bug. (sorry, looks like I can't edit the label)

In the settings, there would be an option for the blinking to pulsate, rather than just blink. Instead of white->red->white immediately, it would fade in between the colors.

In the settings, there would also be an option as to how quickly this would occur.

I love your extension, I just don't know why Gnome doesn't implement this directly. The only problem I have with your extension is that I still get "notified" (blinking) even though I've toggle Do Not Disturb.
Would it be possible to check if this setting is enabled and not do any blinking, and once the setting is turned off, perhaps resume blinking again?

Hello, is there a way to make it stop automatically after reading an email in thunderbird ?

I have to keep clicking the clear button after reading mail, can you make it go off after reading mail or opening thunderbird.

Using with Ubuntu 20.04

Thank you.

I love your extension, but sometimes I have notification for some messages that I've already read and I don't wont to mix them with the future messages are about to arrive.

So everytime I have to clean the notifications and could be great if a quick shortcut will be implemented.

Thanks

It would be nice if it was possible to set different colors for different types of notifications (let's say different color for chat, mail and other notifications).

Extension could cycle through all of them blinking one color for some time, then changing to other color if there's another type of notification waiting. That way, user would know what has happened without opening the notification area.

Hello :-)

Happy to see the new option for changing background color.
Can you please provide the new strings to translate in the pot file?

Maybe the new string "Use alert color" should be changed to "Use alert font color" and "Alert color" to "Alert font color".

Best regards from germany :-)

It would be great if I could add audio to some notifications.

Add support for notifications sent with notify-send

Hello,
It wold be nice to have option don't hide notification bar when message received.

Hi,

I'm using the latest version from e.g.o. on Ubuntu 17.10 (GNOME Shell 3.26.1) and my clock is frequently stuck on the alert colour. I've set the blink rate to 0 but the issue is still present if the rate is higher (so it actually blinks).

I believe the trigger is, if I receive a notification and the notification is revoked when the screen is locked, then the clock is stuck on the alert colour. Let me know if there is anything more I should add or try.

Thanks!

mpDris2, an MPRIS2 interface/client to MPD, triggers notification alerts. This shouldn't happen on things such as song change.

Project in question: https://github.com/eonpatapon/mpDris2

Would be a killer-feature! I've seen that most of the issues can actually be solved by users if there was an option to block the notifications from unwanted applications. Some GUI element representing the list with "add", "modify", and "remove" buttons in the extension settings would suffice.
I believe it's feasible due to this quote from bergschreck:

Best notification extension. I tried 2 others, but they didn't work with evolution mail. This one notifies everything, a little bit too much. ;-) But it is easy to blacklist unwanted applications in source code. To blacklist iceweasel and owncloud, I changed function _hasNotifications the following way: this._hasNotifications = function(source) { var title=source.title.toLowerCase(); if (title == 'iceweasel' || title == 'owncloud') return false; if (source._counterBin.visible && source._counterLabel.get_text() != '0') { return true; } for (let n = 0; n < source.notifications.length; n++) { if (!source.notifications[n].resident) { // Do not alert resident notifications (like Rhythmbox ones) return true; } } return false; }

Hi,

I download your extension and it works properly.
But in the settings, I add my mail application and skype and I would like to put different color for each notification but when I change a color it changes also for both. Is it possible?

By the way, I have to add in the whitelist or blacklist? Because doesn't change anything which list I select

Thanks for your help,
And again good extension !

Hello,

I'm using gnome 3.4 and I disabled alert for non-chat notification.
Even though, the extension is always red because of gwibber, my social network client (not chat)

Is is possible to fix this ?

Damien

In GNOME 45 (Ubuntu 23.10) the extension doesn't start showing this error in the journal:

JS ERROR: Extension [email protected]: SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module @ resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/main.js:3:0

Hello,
I used to use your extension, but since the last gnome upgrade (gnome 3.10), it's no more compatible. Even if I force the compatibility, there are some problems with the new menu.

Thank you !

The icon turn to red in first start. I do "alt+f2 and r", after that icon is turning to true color.

I'm using gnome 3.2.1 on archlinux and latest version of this extension.

Sorry for my bad english :D

First I would like to thank you for this nice extension! Very much like it :)

I was wondering how to blacklist an app that is not in the list of applications when clicking 'Add Rule'.
In my case the offical dropbox client always notifies me when someone changes a file.
But dropbox does not appear in the list. So is there a way to add it manually?

I haven't defined any chat account and the chat icon is disabled (grey color).
In this case, it doesn't alert me of any notification.

Hi folks, I don't know if this is a pidgin issue or an issue with the plugin.

I was using 12.04 with gnome-shell 3.4, and with the libnotify plugin enabled in pidgin, everything worked great. When I got a message, the notification popped up, and if the notification window went away, the icon would stop flashing once the pidgin message window was focused.

Now I've upgraded to 13.04, with gnome-shell 3.6, and the icon does not stop blinking when I focus the pidgin window. It only stops blinking when I very specifically go to the bottom panel, click the pidgin icon, and then click the body of the notification (not the x, not the "show" button).

If you need any information or if you think that this is not an issue with the extension, let me know. Thanks!

Please, add option for background blinking (gif attached)

1. simple background blinking http://i.imgur.com/mKFZhm7.gif
2. background blinking with fade out transition http://i.imgur.com/q5cm22h.gif #

Gtalk with Empathy 3.6.0.3
Gnome-shell 3.6.1(Ubuntu 12.10)
Extension version: 16

The notification won't blink, If there is no dialog window opened. Other words, it happened when others call you at the first time, when I realized someone called me by the avatar showing on the Message Tray of Gnome, it's too late.

There is a 'Constant alert color on resume from suspend' on gnome 3.28.2. Only goes back to normal on a shell restart or when there is a new notification. Please fix, it's a great extension!
Update: The above condition is also valid for when returning from screen lock,

Doesn't work under GNOME 40.

Seems that most extensions need adjustments for the new GNOME version:
https://blogs.gnome.org/shell-dev/2021/03/12/gnome-40-your-extension/

There's an other extension https://github.com/jderose9/dash-to-panel which changes the position and spacing of the top bar and the clock.

When using dash-to-panel, the color change makes also the spacing arround the clock change. I have tried to configure the dash-to-panel spacing options, but my clock keeps "dancing" while changing colors.

Is this extension actually open-source? I got an update at extensions.gnome.org this morning but no updates here since 2016.

Hi,

is there an option to enable your extension to react only on Mailnag alerts?

A switchable option for Mailnag alerts would therefore be great, like we already have with chat notifications. Even better would be a list where we could specify, what programs should trigger the alert.

What do you think about it?

Bye!

Hello,

Firstly, thanks for your nice extension it's great.
Unfortunately, I have an issue with Slack app. I have no notification when I receive a Slack message. Slack notifications are active because I have one on Slack icon.

Does someone else have this issue ?

Thanks for help

The previous version (the version for Gnome 3.2) worked well with the extension: gnome-shell-extension-thunderbird-integration. But the actual version doesn't work with the alerts of this another extension.
I have disabled "Only alert for chat notifications".

If possible it would be cool if the flashing of the text colour could be set to transparent so that it takes the colour of the current panel/background colour.

While, when my nickname is mentioned in an Empathy's chat room the tab gets highlighted, I do not get a notification from gnome-shell. That way I can easily miss notifications, specially if the Empathy tab is not visible.

Maybe you will make control that instead of a blinking there was an icon near date and hours that there are unread notices. Your expansion very important but irritates when constantly blinks. Thanks.

I've been using your extension for a while and it's very handy, but I still find myself frequently not noticing for quite a while that the menu color had changed. It seemed like adding an option to "blink" the color change at some configurable rate might be useful.

I'm not a fan of JavaScript, and most of the Gtk libraries used in writing gnome extensions are greek to me, but based on some blogs i've found about writing extensions I managed to modify your extention with a proof of concept using a hard coded blink rate...

hossman@f8a9153

(Note: that commit is based on a branch I forked from the last time the extension worked with gnome-shell 3.4, the version i'm still running -- thus no pull request. But from what i can tell it looks like it should be trivial to modify it to run in 3.6 -- just s/_statusArea/statusArea/g i think?)

I've been testing it out for a few hours and it seems to work well. The hard part (to me anyway) to make this generally usable would be adding a pref for it. It's not really clear to me what Gtk widget incantations are needed to add a numeric input box (not to mention how exactly the "schema" relates and what would need added there)

Anyway: hope you find it useful.

For some reason, it always blinks in 3.8. Doenst work properly.

I couldn't open its preferences also. When I try to open preferences from tweak tool It says

"There was an error loading preferences dialog for Notifications Alert" and it throws this message as well

TypeError: Gtk.SpinButton.new_with_range is not a constructor

For some reason, this extension < https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/214/pidgin-conversation-integration/ > isn't working for some users.

Add support for "Quit Button" extension < https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/156/quit-button/ >.

Frequently my gnome-shell-notifications-alert get notification stuck in red.
How could I restart it manually? Some sentence in Javascript in Looking glass?
IMHO a "force colour reset" option is needed.

Example of stuck in red:

• Mail message arrives
• Thunderbird sends a notification
• We don't open it
• Other mail message arrives
• Thunderbird sends another notification

Only one notification is visible and can be open now, then... we are stuck in red.
