Description Janek Bevendorff 2012-08-23 14:47:37 UTC

The "Better Notify" plugin currently uses custom toast messages which don't fit the rest of the system.
It would be better if it would use KDE system notifications instead.

Reproducible: Always

I'd like to understand more about this issue.

I enabled the better notify plugin, and the regular notifications comes normally through the KNotification API and I don't see any toast [1] 

So what is this issue about ?

That notification doesn't come from the "better notify" plugin, it's a regular choqok notification. The "better notify" plugin notifies about replies, retweets, DMs and such.

But the better notify plugin is configured with "Home" timeline being added to the list of timelines that I should get notified for.

Then it looks like the plugin is not working for you. If I enable "Home" in Better Notify, I get the regular "x new messages" notification, AND one ugly toast notification for each new message

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Choqok is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/network/choqok

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
