Ubuntu – How to move the “hot corner” of the messaging tray in gnome-shell

gnomemessaging-tray

I have two monitors, side by side, and my main monitor is on the left.

In Gnome Shell, the task-bar can be quickly looked at by moving the mouse to the bottom right hot corner, but since I have a monitor to the right, it is really hard to not simply fly over to the next monitor when trying to access it.

Can I move that hot corner so that it is on the left bottom corner?

Best Answer

You can use this GNOME extension to change the messaging tray hot corner. But, it also moves the icons to the left side.

If you only want to change the hot corner and not the icons, you can use this extension:

By default, it only changes the hot corner of the overview. You can customize it to only change the hot corner of the messaging tray by following the instructions provided here:

To summarize the instructions, open the js file

gedit ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/Hot-Corn-Dog.senatorn@github.com/extension.js

Edit the following line:

const SYSTEM_TRAY_HOT_CORNER = right;

to

const SYSTEM_TRAY_HOT_CORNER = left;
