Firstly thank you for this awesome tool - I only recently found out about hot corners from using ubuntu linux and was super envious to get that feature on windows asap!
Everything works great so far, and here I just had a suggestion to add a new option to select from: Task Switcher.

Currently we have the option "All Windows" which invokes the new Windows 10 "Task View", which is the same as hitting the keyboard shortcut Win+Tab.
(This can also be invoked with the following shell command
explorer shell:::{3080F90E-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}
which I found out about from here https://winaero.com/blog/create-task-view-shortcut-windows-10/ )

I would super grateful if you could please also add a "Task Switcher" option, the same as invoked by the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Tab.
The Switcher is an alternative, faster and (subjectively) more appealing way of seeing a grid view of your open windows. Since Win10 added a thumbnail preview of each view, it looks fantastic!

Currently I found a workaround by using the "Custom Command" option you have already provided, with tips from this site https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/launch-alt-tab-switcher-script-command-line-mouse/#:~:text=Ctrl%20%2B%20Alt%20%2B%20Tab,active%20window%20focus%20on%20it.

1. Open Notepad and paste this code
   Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
   WshShell.SendKeys "^%{TAB}"
2. Save it as TaskSwitcher.vbs (not .txt) wherever you like on your pc
3. In WinXCorners >
   Custom Command = wscript.exe
   Parameters = "[location to that vbs file eg. C:\TaskSwitcher.vbs]"
   (the apostrophes are necessary because if you have spaces in your folders or filename it fails to load)

I couldn't find a more direct shell command (here is an unofficial but seemingly comprehensive listing of commands available: https://winaero.com/blog/clsid-guid-shell-list-windows-10/ ).
However the workaround vbs script works quite well.
Although of course, a native option would be the best!
Thanks in advance for your consideration, and thanks again for this wonderful program!

[dcc32 Fatal Error] Main.pas(94): F2613 Unit 'UCL.Classes' not found.

Just downloaded latest beta and launched. Got this error:

When playing games, especially dx12 games, the hotcorners are often still active. A feature that would autodisable the hotcorner whenever a fullscreen window appeared (including dx12 fullscreen which isn't true fullscreen) would be nice.

When trying to run any app in elevated mode the screen blinks off and on when the UAC prompt comes up and cancells the UAC. Stopping winxcorners allows UAC to run ok.

It seems something about any Active Directory Users and Computers window prevents WinXCorners from working.

Version: 1.0
OS: Windows 11

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open ADUC
2. Try to move the mouse to a corner to trigger its action

This happens every time, and with any window or dialog box that ADUC opens.

I'd love to try to help debug this issue, but I'm not exactly sure where to start.

Edit: Also, to note, I'm not opening ADUC with admin privileges.

I am running the latest Windows 10 build and when I go to sleep my monitors they sleep for about a second and come back on. Any idea what could be causing this?

Also, how do I uninstall this app?

Currently this tool just triggers Windows' task view feature and alternatively (ctrl+alt+tab too). 

However, those system methods don't support drag & drop.

So I'm adding a custom version (not as great as Windows native methods) which will allow you to drag and drop files too.

e.g. select files in File Explorer and drag them to any hot corner, if it is Show All Windows, it will count down hovering the target app to drag to. so you can drop them on that application once it is focused.

Hi,
how do i remove this from my system?
thanks

it s time

On Windows 2004/19041, WinXcorners still uses a white tray icon when Windows is in light theme.

I wonder if it can use a black tray icon instead.

At the place I marked up, maybe it should say "Do nothing" instead of displaying a blank, which is a bit confusing at the first place: users might think it as sort of align/layout issue

More zone such as in up/down/right/left middle of the screen to set function

Could add choices to set customize shortcuts in Windows.

Currently I'm testing it a Virtual Desktop winapi to handle them, it should be included in next releases.

this will make the app look faster, more appealing and fresh. or you can use FLUTTER

Moving the mouse to sides (left, top, right, bottom) of the screen with mouse gestures mimicking the knocking of a door (twice) it would trigger an action.

e.g. knocking right side of the screen would switch to next virtual desktop.

Add hover buttons in any application's window corner and sides, to trigger selected actions.

Show clickable buttons around the main window of an application or children, and let them trigger actions related mainly to the handling of windows like: centering, resizing, moving, etc.

Still in early stages, the hook is working flawlessly but needs more work to do. Might be included in the following releases, but not the near next.

I get an endless stream of these error messages when I start the new 1.2 beta version, launching it as administrator makes no difference. The error messages only stop coming when I kill the application. The older version works.

The windows install is a fairly recent one, maybe a month or two old now, I'm on Windows 10 Home v1803. It's a bootcamp partion on a Macbook Pro. One other thing that does particularly set my system apart and may be a cause is that I run an eGPU to drive my monitor, when in Windows this is my only monitor, internal Laptop monitor is blank. Other than that the install is fairly fresh and has little that I can think of that would be conflicting with the software.

Happy to test or provide further information as needed.

when extracting the downloaded 7z file, an exception occours:
file cannot be opened as an archive.

Write settings inside application directory is bad idea. User should not be able to write inside directory when executable binaries are stored.

Please move settings.ini to %AppData%/winxcorners/

Hi,
Really love that you made this possible for Windows 10.
However I have one hiccup, whenever there's a fullscreen application running the hotcorners still work in the background. Would it be possible to implement an option to pause the hotcorners whenever an fullscreen application is running and resume when it ends?
T.i.a.

I'm trying to compile for peace of mind because VirusTotal scans the .exe file on the home page (751 kilobytes) with 9 red flags, while the one on here under releases (7mb) shows 3 red flags. I tried compiling via the Delphi program itself and after successfully adding dependencies (madshi's madCollection & UniversalCL / UCL), I am stuck.

Since command line compiling is disabled on the community edition, I installed a trial of the architect version and it still won't work. I tried reinstalling and it still says "This version of the product does not support command line compiling." --am I missing something or it's disabled on trials as well?

So I thought I would ask where I can find "actionsManager.pas", or is it being withheld like the "OtherStuff" folder?

Just in case that this may interrupt something, e.g. gaming, video playing, PPT presenting and all that.

Instead of triggering only to mouse position on corners, hover a clickable button and trigger the action assigned.

Would it be possible to add the ability to open the Start menu as a hot corner shortcut? Thank you.

 WinXcorners   version 1.0   Requirements         Windows 10 x86/x64   Notice : This version doesn't support multiple monitors    WinXcor...

I like responsiveness and prefer not to have delays. Please allow the delay number to go to 0.

Since some might not find all actions included enough, it might come handy to allow users with programming knowledge to write custom scripts using pascal language in order to let them add more functionality to the actions.

Currently it is working (uncommited), but requires more work. Might not arrive in the next release yet.

Thanks for a very needed tool (I'm normally a Mac user :-) )!

It would be very nice to be able to just move the mouse to the lower right corner and then leave the computer having it being locked and require pin code again.

Not an issue. Just wanted to let others know this works well on Windows 11 build 22000.282.

Hi! thanks for developing such a nice feature for Windows.
I have set position top for the taskbar and when I try to change corners setting for bottom corners, their select boxes do not show items completely.

It is what happens ("All Windows" is unavailable):

It is not a big deal actually but I thought it is better if I notify you.

Hi there! WinXCorners is really great so far, and made my transition to personal engineering projects from macOS to Windows much smoother!

I noticed on my 2nd monitor, corner actions aren't being triggered -- only on my primary monitor.

Do you plan supporting multiple monitors in the future? If you do, it would be neat to have some features:

1. Mirror same actions on ALL monitor corners
2. OR configure different actions on different monitor corners

Thanks!

When I ran this program through hybrid analysis it shows malware and crypto:
https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/675ab42b6986cc831886d7c04cb07f2826183af1a6bd698d47f1308931acd4f2/64803c18d132022006030c68

1: Found transport agent related strings used by exchange malware

2: Contains CRYPTO related strings

3: Sample was identified as malicious by at least one Antivirus engine

When putting displays to sleep, it would be great if the account being used would be locked and the user was required to enter a password again. This would bring this more inline with how macOS Hot Corners work when putting the display to sleep. macOS gives the user the option to require a password.

One feature I'd like to request is to add a new item to each drop down "keep active".

Basically, if you activate this hot corner:

• the idle timer for screensaver will stop, effectively disabling the screensaver.
• the idle timer sleep or suspend will stop, effectively disabling both sleep or suspend.

Once the pointer is moved off the hot corner, the screensaver that was disabled will have its idle timer reset, sleep or suspend timers will also reset, functioning normally.

I am happy to help get this on the windows 10 app store

I set top left corner to trigger "Monitors Off" with a delay. The first time it works fine, but then the corner stop triggering. But if I click the Icon on the tray, it start triggering again. This only happen once after reboot. Anyone have a solution for this? I could help debugging as well.

Changing screen resolutions turns UI messy, it should resize accordingly.

Same as titile!
Thanks!
