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!
Open Notepad and paste this code
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "^%{TAB}"
Save it as TaskSwitcher.vbs (not .txt) wherever you like on your pc
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!

Thanks for your feedback, I didn't know about explorer shell:::{3080F90E-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257} but it seems it doesn't work on older versions of Windows 10
About your request, I am planning to add it (back), since these feature had my previous tool for Windows 7 (Win7sé), but it didn't work on Windows 8+, back then Windows allowed to modify the size of task switcher's thumbnail via registry tweak, since now it dynamically resizes them.

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.
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "^%{TAB}"
Custom Command = wscript.exe
Parameters = "[location to that vbs file eg. C:\TaskSwitcher.vbs]"
