The notification script for Weechat notifies of a number of events through desktop notifications and an optional status icon. It can be configured to notify of private messages, highlighted messages, and DCC requests and to only notify of messages which are actually displayed within Weechat. The script supports several different user interface toolkits to display the notifications and the status icon, including GTK 2, GTK 3, Qt 4, and KDE 4.

The user interface based on the GTK 3 toolkit requires GObject Introspection bindings for glib, GDK-PixBuf, GTK 3, and libnotify.
The user interface based on the Qt 4 toolkit requires PyQt4.
The user interface based on the KDE 4 libraries PyQt4 and PyKDE 4.
