      jonasksHi, thanks for the solution. But in my case it works for a first notification popup only, any others stay at the center of screen. Did you face it?

        Ohhh yeah I did have that happen from time to time, but not every time but the first. Sounds like the window is renamed or should use a wildcard, or don’t support multiple notifications with the same name. I’m not sure, sorry.
