10. Editing Text
Text has five atrributes that you can modify. The first is the format string to use (See the table below for specifics). Width allows you to set a maximum width for the text. If the width is zero or greater than the width of the notification it will automatically be set to the width of the notification minus the position of the text. Clipping allows you to decide what happens when all of the text will not fit. You have four options for when this occurs. You can either truncate the text, or put an ellipsis at the beginning, middle, or end. The text that is used for the ellipsis can be modified within the theme options page. Lastly, there is font and color, which modify the text's font and color respectively.
