Best fully customizable notification server for notify-send?

Hey guys! Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but im looking for a customizable notifcation serer that accepts images. For example the notification server would be able to display a picture in the shape of a circle and at the bottom display text(maybe not do that exactly but be able to produce some sort of notification like that) Ive tried xfce4-notifyd and dunst but neither really could do what I wanted. Any help would be appreciated. Thank!

Have you tried doing...

notify-send --icon=</path/to/image> ...

AFAIK both xfce4-notifyd and dunst (as well as notify-osd) support displaying icons.

If that doesn't work then reading this would be a good start.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

while both do support displaying icons, what im looking for is more of a customizable notification server in terms of design(color, opcaity, position of text, shape of notifcation, size of notifcation, clickable buttons,text size, font etc) i'll definently have a read at the link you provided though!Thanks

You might look into www.eventd.org
Edit: I forgot it probably does not support actions.
