Ellipsis on truncation #197

cccslater commented 2025年07月17日 23:27:20 +02:00

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for fnott, it's really fab (and crucially the only notification daemon I've found where swayfx can draw corners on each notification)!

I wondered if, when text is truncated, an ellipsis could be inserted? I'd love to try adding it myself but I'd need some pointers and am not strong on C :-)
I wondered if it would go in the function notif_layout in the section 'Finally, lay out the glyphs'?

Thank you!

I'd love to try adding it myself but I'd need some pointers and am not strong on C :-) I wondered if it would go in the function `notif_layout` in the section 'Finally, lay out the glyphs'? Thank you!

Shouldn't be too hard to do. Yes, it's in notify_layout(). Here's where the x/y limits are checked:
