Recently Gmail introduced an HTML5-based desktop notification feature for Google Chrome users (see this). It's very useful, however, the notifications disappear too quickly (in about 5 seconds) and I couldn't find a way to change the display time. Ideally, I would like the notification to stay for a few minutes if there is no user activity (or about 15 seconds if there is user activity). Is that possible?
1Yea, that's what I found too. Hopefully they'll improve this in the next release. Thanks. (BTW, it looks like Chrome 9 has already been delayed by 1/3 of a development cycle...) – netvope – 2011-01-28T01:52:23.627
Taught me something new. I like Google's release early, release often cycles. It means we can expect new features with each release. – None – 2011-01-28T03:00:47.760
1Well, it's a year and a half later and I still can't find a way of controlling the timing of notifications. They're so fleeting that they're next to useless right now. Frustrating. – Charles Roper – 2012-06-27T13:28:44.607
