+
+## Configuration
+
+One can configure a few things:
+
+- `bgnotify_threshold` sets the notification threshold time (default 6 seconds)
+- `function bgnotify_formatted` lets you change the notification
+
+Use these by adding a function definition before the your call to source. Example:
+
+~~~ sh
+bgnotify_threshold=4 ## set your own notification threshold
+
+function bgnotify_formatted {
+ ## $1=exit_status, $2=command, $3=elapsed_time
+ [ $1 -eq 0 ] && title="Holy Smokes Batman!" || title="Holy Graf Zeppelin!"
+ bgnotify "$title -- after $3 s" "$2";
+}
+
+plugins=(git bgnotify) ## add to plugins list
+source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh ## existing source call
+~~~
