A popup is an extension of the notch, in which you can show information to the user. You can use them to show Toasts, Banners, and more.
How to create a Popup¶
A popup is created like anything in eqSh, using the cli.
$ equora ipc popup openPopup iconPath appName title description timeout aargs
Example:
$ equora ipc popup openPopup '' 'MyPopup' 'This is a Title' 'This is a description' 200 ''
If you make the iconPath empty, then it will use no icon. Also, a popup will close after the timeout ends, but if you want to close it manually, just drag it down or click anywhere on it.
Customizing¶
Now you might have already noticed the last argument of the command, aargs. This is a list of arguments that will be passed to the popup, heres the different arguments and the syntax to use them.
Arguments Syntax
arg, arg, arg=value, arg
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
banner |
Show the popup as a banner, making it not close automatically |
attention |
Adds a red glow around the popup |
That's it for now!
