 Currently, these settings are recognized:
 
 * `central_message_max`: Limit the number of messages displayed at once, by providing a number. Use `0` for no limit. Default: `7`
+* `central_message_time`: How long (in second) a message is shown. Default: `5`
 * `central_message_color`: Set the message color of all messages. Value must be of format `(R,G,B)`. Default: `(255,255,255)` (white).
