@gloopsies There's very little text in the bar. Ok, some (crazy) people have the name of the day there, but other than that it's only the "Activities" thing (which seems to be about to be replaced anyway) and the clock. The clock can be shown as two numbers on top and two on bottom, no problem.
The dash is on the bottom middle, while the hot corner now is on the top corner. Moving it to the bottom corner would drastically decrease distance from opening the overview to interacting with the dash.
