I am on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. As a unity user I am facing a big difference with gnome as notifications are showed up at the top center. It is annoying while dealing with specially browser tabs. I searched the Internet and found this, but it did not work as described. Can someone help me with this?

The Gnome Team have a ppa which has Gnome 3.12 in it. Please note last time I looked, a few months ago it was not ready for general use.
To install Gnome alongside Unity you need to run the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-deskop
You will need to select and use the GDM desktop manager when asked to choose.
EDIT: At least as of 2014-08-26, there is a version conflict in dependencies for gnome-control-center and ubuntu-control-center (for versions of gnome-settings-daemon). They will not live side by side happily unless you install an older version of gnome.
In a console, type winecfg then enter. This will open the configuration tool of wine. (I think that if you type "wine config" into gnome search bar, you might also get a "Configure wine" app, it's the same).
Under "graphics", make sure "Allow the window manager to decorate the window" and "Allow the window manager to control the window" are checked.
You have to do that for all wineprefix you use.

Then go to the extension's webpage. You'll find a toggle button. Turn it on.
Once the installation is finished, you'll be able to change the preferences of the extension using (GNOME) Tweaks.
