Notifications

This feature allows server side applications to send system notifications (aka notifications bubbles) to the client.

It is supported on all platforms and controlled by the notifications configuration option.

* MS Windows use system _bubbles_ - you may need to [configure your system](http://www.howtogeek.com/75510/beginner-how-to-customize-and-tweak-your-system-tray-icons-in-windows-7/) to show the xpra system tray icon and / or the bubbles * MacOS clients use a custom GTK window since there was no system API until OSX 10.8.x (this should be replaced with native code at some point) * posix clients can use `python-notify` or `python-dbus` (the exact name of the packages required vary) MS Windows XP: \ 

MacOS 10.10.x:

Please refer to the notifications subsystem.

Debugging

• start both the client and server with the debug command line flags: -d notify,dbus
• you can also test notifications forwarding using the dbus interface or xpra control, ie:

  xpra control :100 send-notification "hello" "world" "*"
  

  will send the message to all clients.
