- In conception, the GNOME 3 notifications system hits all the right points: give a non-intrusive
- indication when there is a new notification, let someone inspect it further and respond in place, and provide a
- place where notifications can be reviewed and interacted with.

- There were, however, issues with the execution of the GNOME 3 notifications model. Accessing the tray was fiddly,
- the hot corner caused a lot of accidental triggers, and the action to close a notification bubble was also
- non-obvious. We observed all of these issues during testing, and it was something that we received a lot of
- feedback on. Well, we listened, and we came up with something better.

- The new tray is clearer, better looking, and easier to interact with. It keeps the same schema in place, but it
- refines the execution so that it is less error-prone and more satisfying to use.

- Instead of overlapping the viewing area, the new tray slides the view up, suggesting that it is in the background,
- beneath the normal plane of interaction. The items in the tray are also bigger, clearer, and donât move around,
- making them easier to interact with.

- The way that the tray is triggered has also been changed. The hot corner â which many people had problems with â
- has been replaced. Instead, the whole of the bottom screen edge now acts as a trigger area; letting the mouse rest
- there for a short period will cause the tray to appear. We plan to improve this behaviour in subsequent releases,
- so that a certain about of pressure against the screen edge is required to open the tray (we need to wait for
- changes down the stack before we can achieve this).

- There are quite a few other changes to notifications included in 3.6. Weâve tweaked the behaviour of the
- notification popups to make sure that people donât miss them. Close buttons have been added, and the online status
- of contacts is now indicated with an icon. Altogether, these should make the tray and notifications more effective
- and easier to use.
