dunstmerge [-v|-h]
dunstmerge [LAYOUT]
dunstmerge merges three different files inside DUNST_DIR
into one dunstrc file. The files that gets merged are:
- dunst-theme
- layouts/LAYOUT
- dunst-settings
If LAYOUT is omitted dunstmerge will look in the
current dunstrc file for the name of the current layout
and use that, which will result in a reload of dunst.
If layouts/LAYOUT doesn't exist, default will be used.
The advantage of using this is that it will be easy to manage multiple layouts and themes, that can be independently generated.
If the directory DUNST_DIR/layouts doesnt exist,
dunstmerge will split the current (or the default)
dunstrc file and create a default layout the first
time dunstmerge is executed. It will also create
dunst-theme and dunst-settings and copy any old
dunstrc to DUNST_DIR/dunstrc-orginal. It will also
copy the default dunstrc to DUNST_DIR/dunstrc-default.

DUNST_DIR/dunstrc
This file will get generated by dunstmerge and used by

If a dunstrc file existed prior to the first time dunstrc,
was executed, that file will be copied here.
