3.16 Legacy Notifications

[David González]

It's way better than
1) Moving the mouse cursor to the bottom waiting for GNOME to react so it could show the message notification area
2) Pressing Alt+M 

Granted, I was never a fan of the message panel altogether, it seemed like a concept that wasn't fully polished. 

I do like that new legacy tray icon area tho, for one if you press it it will remain open even if you use other applications, and if you move the cursor it will roll open temporarily. One of the main problems I had with the old tray is that the message panel would close after opening a tray menu, which was really annoying if I wanted to continue using it. 

I'm with you though, just move it to the main notification tray; it feels like they are doing an awfully lot of work just to "be different".

Just updated to 15.04 and the 3.16 PPA. Everything’s great (so far), but I'm baffled by the concept behind the weird legacy notifications tray in the bottom left.

This is a really weird design choice and made my previous configuration of Dash to Dock unusable. Surely It would be so much easier just to put them in the main notifications tray?

Anyone else find this annoying? It really seems to go against the GNOME design ethos.
