After clicking the Deploy button a message box appears on the top that partially covers the flow tabs (Chrome and Safari).

 ![nr-messagebox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/4/e/4e18d1408d0d758d66e313ec8f3fb4aee72449c4.png)

Would it be possible to reduce the message box height?

And also the length of time it is shown onscreen!

When you do need to read it you need it there for a while - especially if there is a link inside you may wish to click. (eg to see unused config nodes)...

You can click on it to hasten it's departure if you wish

Okay, It's not a big thing. It just would be nice to have.  
Otherwise the space used for additional links could be solved using multiple boxes (something I often see on web pages).
