I totally disagree with the new gap-design. The down-shifted notification just looks ugly, no matter how you justify it. Anyone with some sense for logic would expect *any* notification at the exact *same* position. Just take a look at things in your daily life: TV channels always have their logos in one of the four corners and not shifted somewhere towards the center because people expect it like this. And when you look onto your computer's desktop, you always expect to find the clock somewhere in the corner. Or the "Start"-button and so on.

And if there are more than one notification, just put on top of each other, adding the newer notifications to the bottom. Sometimes I really don't understand the logic behind such weird design decisions. And if you're really convinced that the positioning should be the way it is, then please make it configurable because obviously many people just disagree here and prefer different postions.

Seriously, until I read this bug report I considered the gap to be a bug, because it looks absolutely mispositioned and disturbing when there is just one notification. Please address this issue, it's really annoying.
