Sound notification demon / Notification Banner disappearing from the screen

1

Why don’t all the applications listed in BCC/Budgie Control Center > Applications benefit from the same notification system (with sound alert) as those in BCC > Notifications?
And why very few of the applications we install end up in BCC > Notifications?
No possible to set up the notification banner to stay on the screen till will be noticed.

Actually, it doesn’t depend on the daemon, but on the design of the applications: if you install Rhythmbox, for example, it’s in BCC > Notifications.

That said, a guy has developed a script to make notifications audible.

Even though it was designed for Evolution, from what I understand it can be adapted to other applications:

FILTERS = {
    'evolution':        ('org.gtk.Notifications', 'AddNotification', 'org.gnome.Evolution-alarm-notify'),
    'evolution-legacy': ('org.freedesktop.Notifications', 'Notify', 'Evolution Reminders'),
    'firefox':          ('org.freedesktop.Notifications', 'Notify', 'Firefox'),
    'librewolf':        ('org.freedesktop.Notifications', 'Notify', 'LibreWolf'),
    'notify-send':      ('org.freedesktop.Notifications', 'Notify', 'notify-send'),
    'chrome':           ('org.freedesktop.Notifications', 'Notify', 'Google Chrome'),
}

Do you think it can help ?
Do you think I could install it?

I found the time to try and install the script.
It works on Zorin OS and certainly on Ubuntu, but unfortunately not on UB, as it’s not a “real” GNOME distribution.
And I don’t have the skills to adapt such a script.

Sorry, that was a bad idea. :confused:

I really miss the notifications from my chats on the screen to appear and stay on the screen till I see it and clear it out. For now it appears and dissapear shortly after so when I am away of the screen and come back later I do not know that a new massage arrived.Quite often I notice a new massage long time later when I phisicaly open the app.Sometimes it is important to see massage as quick as possible when it is a some kind of emergency. Anyone has maybe some solution how to set it up ?

The bell icon in the panel changes colour when a new notification appears. Opening raven (click on the right panel symbol) shows all notifications.

I understand. I will try to observe it the way you say, by looking at the bell icon in the panel.

However, it’s still not the same as when the chat application window with a new message notification remains on the screen until we close it. I think this is particularly important for older people who won’t check the bell icon because it will be too complicated for them.
