Is there a way to change the popup notification's timeout?

#1 Post by jefff1979 »

A little backstory:

I used to use Mepis Linux back in 2007 because it was one of the only distros that had support for Nvidia video cards. Also, pretty much everything worked out of the box. I've tried MANY different Linux distros just messing around, but MX Linux seems to be the only one that can effectively replace a Windows machine, without me having to compromise on functionality. I've installed MX Linux on quite a few laptops I've nuked for people over the years, and they all love it as well.

Here's my system info:

Notifications will popup for various things, like connecting to Wi-Fi, or if you have a message in a messenger app, that sort of thing. Is there a way to change the timeout for notifications, so they don't disappear so quickly?

Thanks!

I found it right after posting the question. 9_9

I found it in the "[xfce] Settings Editor" then I found it in the "[MX] Settings Manager" by searching for it. I think the key to the whole thing was searching for "Notification." I wasn't doing that before.

All these fancy GUI configuration options are throwing me off! :rofl:
