XML Toast

🔥 Why This Asset?

Most “notification systems” in Unity are just UI panels.

This is different.

✔ Uses actual Windows toast notifications

✔ Works in Editor AND builds

✔ Fully controlled via remote XML (GitHub, Gitea, etc.)

✔ Supports images, buttons, input, timestamps

✔ No PowerShell. No dependencies. No nonsense.

You are not simulating notifications.

You are integrating directly with Windows.

🎮 How It Works

Unity → GitHub XML → Image Cache → Native Helper → Windows Toast

2. Upload XML to GitHub
3. Unity fetches XML at runtime
4. Images are cached locally
5. Toast is sent to Windows

Done.

🧠 Simple, Powerful Workflow

Replace existing notification:

<toast tag="live_update">

Create new notification:

<toast tag="update_2">
