With the arrival of notifications to OS X, it seems that the way we work has improved considerably. But at other times the notifications become blissful y no hacen más que molestar, sobre todo si estamos viendo una película o realizando algo importante y para la que necesitamos justo esa parte de la pantalla en la que se muestra la notificación. Lo mejor para evitar que las notificaciones se conviertan en molestas es habilitar el modo No molestar. Pero en otras ocasiones, cuando estamos realizando cualquier cosa habitual el espacio de tiempo que ocupan las notificaciones nos pueden parecer cortos, ya que no nos da tiempo a visualizarlas por completo. Para ello, desde SoydeMac os vamos a mostrar un pequeño tutorial para establecer el tiempo que queremos que las notificaciones aparezcan en pantalla.
Modify the time that notifications are displayed on the screen
- First we go to Terminal, or click directly on the search magnifying glass and type Terminal to open it.
- Next we copy and paste the following text: defaults write com.apple.notificationcenterui bannerTime 10changing the number 10, for the seconds we want the notifications that are shown every time we receive something to last.
- Once the change is made, we will proceed to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
If you have set 10 seconds and it seems like an eternity compared to the five seconds that are natively set in OS X El Capitan, follow the same steps and enter a lower value, for example 7 and restart the Mac again. Everything depends on the usefulness or not real for us of the notifications, but if we do not usually take advantage of it, it is best to always activate Do Not Disturb mode. On the other hand, if your almost depends on them, the best thing would be to extend the time that they are shown in order to have enough time to be able to visualize it once we have finished what we were doing.
