Chinese and Spanish, right-to-left languages, and an easier hot corner on multiple screens

WinHotCorner now speaks Chinese and Spanish, follows right-to-left languages, and is easier to hit on multi-screen setups.

Easier on multiple screens

  • New: Expand hot corner area, on by default. At a corner with another screen beside it or above it, the pointer is now held like at any other corner, as on GNOME, instead of slipping on to the other screen. Without it, only Windows' own sticky corners hold it, for 6 pixels.
  • It stays out of the way: not while a mouse button is held (dragging a window to the other screen), not while an app is fullscreen, and not while a game confines the pointer.

Opening Task View

  • The hot corner now asks Windows itself to open Task View instead of pressing Win+Tab for you. It is just as fast, and no longer stops working while Shift, Ctrl, Alt or Win is held.
  • Fixed: after Explorer restarted, the hot corner stopped triggering until it was restarted itself.

Languages

  • The control panel and the installers are now in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文 and Español (Latin American and Spain's), following Windows' display language.
  • In a right-to-left display language (Arabic, Hebrew and others), the hot corner moves to the top-right corner, as on GNOME, and the control panel is laid out right to left. A new switch, Mirror for right-to-left, keeps the top-left corner instead.

Also

  • The installers show WinHotCorner's logo, and the README is shorter.
  • Tested on Windows 10 too: signing, Task View, the ripple and multiple screens.

Important

The installers themselves are not signed, on purpose, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning: choose More info → Run anyway. Read more about why WinHotCorner itself is not signed.

Note

Requires Windows 10 version 1903 or later, or Windows 11, 64-bit.
