One of the key Material Design guidelines, if not *the* key Material Design guideline, is that an MD-compliant UI should be able to seamlessly scale from mobile to tablet to desktop with minimal, if any, change to layout. Why, therefore, is the status area on the bottom-right in the case of Chrome OS but at the same time on the top-right in the case of Android? This is *very* un-MD-like.

I, therefore, have contributed a mockup that should hopefully set the MD guidelines straight from mobile to desktop implementations, and attached it to this feature request itself.

Decided on an even better idea: move the clock to the top-center, then merge the notifications and quick settings together ― apologies for crude cropping as far as the following mocks are concerned; it should look much nicer practically. Please edit the title to reflect this change.

Also, in TouchView ONLY: might be a good idea to implement the same swipe-down gesture as what's used on Android to open this unified menu.

This is most likely a 53 bug and should be already fixed, the notification should be on the lower right.   please reopen if not.
