- Based on testing and your feedback, we've learned and heard that there have
- been some issues with the message tray. Accessing the tray was fiddly, and
- the hot corner caused a lot of accidental triggers.
+ The Message Tray has received some major updates for GNOME 3.6. Many of these
+ changes were based on feedback and testing, which indicated some interaction
+ issues with the old tray design.

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 don't move
- around, making them easier to interact with.

+ The way that the tray is triggered has also been altered. 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 amount 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).
