Although if you are a not an Arch Linux user, you'll need to compile it on your own. I needed to install `libxdg-basedir-dev` and `libxss-dev` on my Ubuntu before being able to compile. Install it with `make install`.Fri, 29 Jun 2012 12:26:23 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/121/whats-a-good-notification-daemon-for-i3/?comment=176#comment-176Comment by lkraav for I just discovered <a href="http://knopwob.github.com/dunst">dunst</a>. <blockquote> Dunst is a minimalistic notification daemon for Linux.

It can display libnotify messages which fit nicely between the workspaces and some i3status output on the i3bar.
