====== Changing the default banner notification time ======

By default, Mac OS X displays notification banners just for a few short seconds. Here's a quick way to change how long the Notification Center banners should be shown before they disappear.

===== Changing the default value =====

The prefs value responsible for the display time is ''bannerTime'' of ''com.apple.notificationcenterui''.

  - Open ''Terminal''
  - Type in <code>defaults write com.apple.notificationcenterui bannerTime -int SECONDS</code>
  - Done!

The system default value can then be restored by typing: <code>defaults delete com.apple.notificationcenterui bannerTime</code>
