screencast of 'wobbly' behaviour

Using the mouse to reveal the legacy tray icons can be troublesome - the box behaviour is 'wobbly' and doesn't feel as solid when compared to the Activities' hot corner for example. See the screencast attached.

Comment 2 Luis Henrique Mello 2015-05-22 17:05:54 UTC 
I was wondering if the legacy tray behaviour could emulate, as an option that could be set on Tweak Tool, as a auto-hide tray like docky or plank - completely hidden until the mouse hovers over the hot corner. The 'discoverability issue' is IMHO well-balanced with the https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746025 final commit so that wouldn't hurt.

legacyTray: Style the slider's child, not the slider

This avoids jiggling when showing/hiding the tray. Based on a
suggestion from maxnevesnunes@gmail.com in bug 750022.
