Hi Albin, This is not an answer to your inquiry, but because I looked into something similar recently for my setup I'd thought I'd share: I used xmonad before but switched to the awesome [0] tiling WM. I hacked my solution into their wiki, including a screensot [1]. best, /p [0] http://awesome.naquadah.org/ [1] https://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Notmuch_mail_integration On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 12:02:06AM +0200, Albin Stjerna wrote: > Hi all > > I've been using a simple notmuch count-based script together with xmobar in xmonad to notify me of new mail. However, I'm thinking of switching to a Gnome/xmonad-based combo, thus giving up xmobar. I've been looking for a replacement to my mail checker that would work with gnome-panel, but so far I haven't found any. I'm sure there has to be at least one Gnome user on the notmuch mailing list, so I thought I'd ask for help. > > How are you solving this? Basically anything that would display a notification icon if a given shell command returned true would suffice, though I'd prefer something that would also display a given text (read: a short fom of the specified query and the mail count for it, something like: »personal: 10« – possibly during mouse over). > > Thanks in advance, > Albin > _______________________________________________ > notmuch mailing list > notmuch@notmuchmail.org > http://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
