Desktop corners are too responsive [SOLVED]

Post by paddys-hill »

I've tried to use desktop corners to show the Expo layout but it is just too responsive.

If I use top left, I tend to park my mouse cursor there when reading a large application screen.
If I use top right its hard to stop before getting to the window controls, especially when trying to close a window.
If I use bottom left I always hit it before the menu.
Bottom right is also sub optimal (for me) because a) I very often want to get to the calender thingo (I hate the word "app") and b) if I am using an external monitor as a right hand desktop extension, the corner "feels" like it is about 10 mouse miles away.

So is there a way that the corners could only work if there is a "hover" event instead of just a "bump"?

There is an 'activation delay' which you can increase to make it less responsive.
