Possibly controversial opinion:

I think should seriously consider moving the top bar to the side. 2 reasons:

1. Vertical space is more valuable than horizontal in most cases, because there's less of it (especially as the number of ultra widescreens increases) and probably most things you look at while not in full screen mode is taller than wide.

2. By moving the bar to the side the hot corner can be moved to the bottom, significantly decreasing the distance to the dash/dock

@forteller

The bar on the side would need to use a lot more space since the text in most of the world is horizontal not vertical, also I don't see how changing the corner would make the difference since mouse cursor is mostly in a very central area of the screen so every corner is about the same distance from the mouse. In either case I don't see the problem with current implementation and I think that changing it would only produce a worse outcome.

@gloopsies There's very little text in the bar. Ok, some (crazy) people have the name of the day there, but other than that it's only the "Activities" thing (which seems to be about to be replaced anyway) and the clock. The clock can be shown as two numbers on top and two on bottom, no problem.

The dash is on the bottom middle, while the hot corner now is on the top corner. Moving it to the bottom corner would drastically decrease distance from opening the overview to interacting with the dash.
