How to reduce Notification popup display time?

I have Notifiation center set to show banners. When I get a notification, an alert (pop up) appears in the upper right of the screen. The alert hangs around for a while. Seems like every time one of these displays, I need access to the area it is covering. But I have to wait for the popup to hide.


Is there a way to reduce the time that these alerts are visible?


Also, is it possible to have notifications cleared out after x number of days?

Hi 4thSpace,


The information below explains all of the available options for Notifications.



Mac Basics: Notification Center


You have the option of reducing the number of notifications you receive to 5 or 1.


You can't control how long the notification is on your screen, but you do have the ability to dismiss it:


Tip: To dismiss an Alert or Banner without interacting with it, place the cursor over the banner and use a two finger swipe to the right.


I hope this information helps ...
