How to Customize Notification Appearance on Linux

Generally, desktop operating systems don’t offer much flexibility when it comes to customizing notification appearance. At best, you can disable them or change their position. Fortunately, third-party tools can help.

Linux users with the Gnome desktop environment can try the Notification Configurator app, which lets you adjust nearly every aspect of how notifications are displayed.

With it, you can configure:

  • The frequency of notifications from the same app
  • Notification filtering using RegExp
  • Notification position on the screen
  • Color scheme
