Simple OSD daemons
A collection of simple yet configurable OSD daemons that use Freedesktop notifications to display various information about your system.

Installation
Nix
These commands will allow you to try the daemons without installing anything globally; Likely, you want to somehow install this on your system after this. How you do it depends on your setup and preferences.
nix shell git+https://code.balsoft.ru/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons to get all daemons. Add #$DAEMON to only get $DAEMON. If you don't use nix 3 yet, try nix-shell https://code.balsoft.ru/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons/archive/master.tar.gz -A defaultPackage.x86_64-linux
Cargo
cargo build
You can also build individual daemons with cargo build --bin simple-osd-$DAEMON .
Usage
Run the daemons you need. At this moment, none of them accept any arguments.
Configuration
simple-osd-daemons follows XDG Basedir specification: configuration will be written to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/simple-osd/, typically ~/.config/simple-osd/. Each daemon has a separate configuration file in INI format, and there is also a common configuration file. On startup, the daemons will create their configuration files and populate them with default values if they don't exist.
FIXME
GenerateCargo.nixon the fly- Bluetooth daemon doesn't actually work, since blurz doesn't allow to get the list of connected devices
- Need to figure out icons
