-   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.

+    been some issues with the message tray. Accessing the tray was fiddly, and

-   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.
