GNOME's ripple, signed on your computer, and hot corners on more screens

WinHotCorner now plays GNOME's ripple when it opens Task View, can run without administrator rights, and has a hot corner on more screens.

Signed on your computer

  • Setup now offers to sign WinHotCorner on your computer, on by default. Signed, it runs without administrator rights, still works while an app running as administrator (such as Task Manager) is in front, and shows its ripple above Task View.
  • Setup makes a certificate for this one copy of WinHotCorner and deletes its private key straight away, so nothing else can ever be signed with it. Updates sign the new version with a new certificate; uninstalling removes it.
  • If signing is not possible (some company policies do not allow it), Setup says so and installs WinHotCorner the usual way.
  • More in Signing WinHotCorner on your computer.

Ripple

  • When the corner opens Task View, it plays GNOME's ripple, unless animations are turned off in Windows.
  • Not signed, the ripple plays under Task View and is mostly hidden by it.

Multiple screens

  • By default, as on GNOME, the primary screen has a hot corner, and so does every screen with no neighbour at its top left.
  • A corner with another screen next to it now works too: push into the very top of the edge, where Windows holds the pointer for a few pixels (its "sticky corners").
  • New in the control panel: Hot corner screens, to choose the primary screen only, screens with no top left neighbours only, both, or all screens.

Control panel

  • Run now next to Not running.
  • Stays centred in wide windows; the content used to move right and get cut off.

Installers

  • Show WinHotCorner's logo.

Note

  • Requires Windows 10 version 1903 or later, or Windows 11, 64-bit.
  • The installers themselves are still not signed, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning: choose More info → Run anyway.
  • Signed, WinHotCorner should also work in front of apps running as administrator on a standard (non-administrator) account (not officially tested).

Tip

  • WinHotCorner-Full installs both hot corner and control panel
  • WinHotCorner-HotCornerOnly only installs hot corner

You may install full version later after installing hot corner only version
