How do you change the notification timeout until it fades?

[mideal]

I can't find a way to change the timeout value for the notification bubbles ("You are now connected", "postbox xy has n new mails"), which are much to big, too (IMHO).

It seems endless until they disappear (do they at all?) - I always click them away after a few seconds.
I'd appreciate a value of 1-2 seconds and smaller bubbles.
A surplus would be a list of notifications I don't want, like those mentionded above:
- when I connect to a WLAN or WWAN, I expect the connection anyway (and will see the appropriate icon)
- when I open Thunderbird, there will always be new mails (if I'm connected and not only want to read an old mail)

Who can help with the time? (The others seam to be a new idea, which I will push to the idea stack).


BTW, there is still a similar request since February for Cinnamon by another user.

I looked in the Control Center and found the Pop-Up Notifications in the Personal section and that's where I would expect to find the possibility to set the length of time for the notifications and also the font size for them, but unfortunately that is not the case.
At least for the size, there are some font settings inside the Appearance Preferences, but they don't seem to have any direct bearing on the font size of the Pop-Up Notifications (yes, I tested it).
Anybody else have some insight?

To my knowledge the notifications are hard coded since those are not a working app that people use like any other program. That's why there are 3 or 4 notification themes so you can pick the one that you can live with the best ....
I spend about 12 hours per day on my machine ... and see notifications less than 5 minutes of that ...
Heck, 95% of the time I don't even pay attention to them.

You're right, most of the time there is no notification at all.
When I start Thunderbird to write an email (e.g. when using another applications "send this as email") and want to put an attachment to it,
it quite often happens that when I move the app into the mails (and with that, the desktops) upper right corner, TB comes up with
"Dirk has got 1 million new mails" exactly where I want to drop something
Or I want to change between UMTS (WWAN) and WLAN, and the notifivation "now offline" comes up, and I cannot use the pulldown menu for the network in that corner.

It is annoying!
