2. Panel OSD is a Gnome extensions that allows to move screen notification position, and change time-out delay.

      How about the ones created when you adjust the volume? They appear near the center of the screen and are humongous :x

        Yeah, they look totally different from the rest of the OS style. I wonder who found that it was a good idea.

      Is there any way to display the notifications on active monitor, like the option we had in notifyOSD?

      It works! I recommend using firefox because chrome has deprecated the API needed to install it.
