at the top of your screen vs on the top of your screen

Both 'at the top of your screen' and 'on the top of your screen' are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'At the top of your screen' is more commonly used to refer to a specific location on the screen. Meanwhile 'on the top of your screen' could imply that an object (such as an antenna) has been physically placed on the top of the screen.
