I use notify-send for desktop notifications and I get notifications with expected summary and body. However, notify-send has limitations and so I would like a few recommendations on alternatives for notify-send.

I would like these extra features :

1. Expiration time.


2. Size customizations(size of the bubble).


3. Location modifications(location of the bubble).


4. Bubble look(color,transparency,shading)(if possible).

I know python-notify and hesitate to use that as I am not familiar Python. I would like a complete stand-alone program. Any suggestions?
