Why not have this icon on the top so you can always see it and have the top right corner a hot corner for notifications. I don't get having to move my mouse all the way down just to see how many notifications I have, AND then having a tiny icon to click on to open them. 

Tl;dr
Sling mouse top right and integrate it as a system menu.

Gnome is much better than it used to be, but this is an absolute mess. Browser progress totally mashes with the tab selection highlight, the tabs and the scroll bar are totally disjointed and I still don't get the gap either side of the tabs. #linux   #gnome   #gnomeshell   #gtk  

What are (or where can I find) the major features that are planned for Freya? I know slingshot has got transparent features but what are other major visual changes will are planned?

that space to the right of the last tab is super annoying already and I haven't even installed 3.12 haha. Why not go all the way across or leave the width of the scroll bar?! Does clicking there add a new tab?

I'm no UI designer but this is awful +GNOME #pleasedontdoit
