README

          
Custom Windows "toast" notification application. Intended as replacement for the in-built "toast" viewer on embedded systems where `explorer.exe` is _not_ running due to a [custom shell](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/kiosk-shelllauncher). Based on the Toast [Notification listener](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/notification-listener) article.

**LIMITATION**: Actions like **buttons are _not_ supported**, since they do not appear to be accessible through the API.
