I’ve been playing about with Portable Ubuntu for Windows, as a replacement for my secondary machine at work, and customised the system a bit for my liking. This is going to be a working post for me to add notes on what I’ve changed so that I can find it again! Initially I was planning to build my own image based on Cooperative Linux, but decided that as Portable Ubuntu for Windows had most things configured it made a better starting point.

Moving the notification popups

The default notification position is bottom right, which was appearing below the windows task bar - so I wanted to move them

• Open up gconf-editor

• Go to apps, notification-daemon

• Edit popup_location to suit your setup - I’m currently trying top_right
