the notification area in the bottom of screen is annoying, can i change the place and look of it to be as in unity? "at the right top and disappears when hover over it"? and also is there an extension to change the icons of some programs from system tray to the upper panel?

The extension in 'Shell OSD' is outdated, and does not seem to work with 3.6+. A alternative extension that can be used is 'Panel OSD', which is more up-to-date, and should work with Gnome Shell 3.10+.

By default it shows the notifications on the top of the screen in the middle - using the settings (these can be opened from the extension's webpage or Gnome Tweak Tool) this can be changed to be on the top right: extension settings window

The version for 3.10+ can be downloaded and installed from here

The 3.16 update removed compatibility with versions older than 3.10 - if you have a older version, you might be able to install it with:

cd ~ && git clone git://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-panel-osd.git
git checkout d2289c2569d127725522eaa385b175220b28514c
cd ~/gnome-shell-extension-panel-osd
./autogen.sh && make local-install

I haven't tested this, but basically all you should need to do is get a version before this commit which removed the compatibility. Sources: extension README, https://stackoverflow.com/a/7832839/2943276

shell extension Shell OSD can place notifications in the upper right hand corner.

See https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/243/shell-osd/

    Unfortunately the author states in a comment that he abandoned the project, and it is not working with the current GNOME version (3.6) Jan 8, 2013 at 23:22
