2019 style alert on Windows desktop !
November 19, 2019 2:39 AM Subscribe
I'm wanting to send desktop notifications to users on my work LAN. I'm aware I can do simple dialog box messages and I can even do slightly fancier balloon tip notifications but I'm wanting something ideally a bit more attractive and fitting with the year 2019.
So basically the messages are going to come to the desktops via MQTT and then a listener on each PC will run a script on each machine which generates the popup.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnny tips?!
Thank you!!!

What do you use to send balloon tip notifications? If whatever it is uses the standard system API for generating them, I *believe* they'll show up as toast notifications in Windows 8+. If you want to show toast-style notifications in Windows 7, then you'd need to use custom software installed on your client machines to draw that UI, since the toast-style of notifications wasn't introduced until Windows 8.
