rb-notifu
Notification Kung Fu for Windows.
Notification system for windows. Trying to be Growl. Ruby wrapper around notifu (http://www.paralint.com/projects/notifu/index.html)
There are three possible alternatives to Growl on windows:
- Tray notification
- IUserNotification(2) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb774424(v=vs.85).aspx
- Notifu http://www.paralint.com/projects/notifu/index.html
- Growl for Windows http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/
- Snarl http://www.fullphat.net/
Example
require 'rb-notifu'
Notifu::show :message => "test", :type => :warn, :time => 1 do |status|
p Notifu::ERRORS.include? status
end
sleep 1.5Available options
:type The type of message to display values are:
:info The message is an informational message
:warn The message is an warning message
:error The message is an error message
:time The number of seconds to display (0 for infinit)
:title The title (or prompt) of the ballon
:message The message text

:nosound Do not play a sound when the tooltip is displayed
:noquiet Show the tooltip even if the user is in the quiet period that follows his very first login (Windows 7 and up)

TODO
- Use FFI instead of embedded executable file
- remove :baloon flag
- Add support for Snarl
