in the old forums i made this request http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopi ... hotcorners (http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=254&hilit=hotcorners)

(in it i refer to the old forums, which refer to the forums before the forums before these forums :D)

this is an idea i made in the old forums, and i believe it would make hotcorners even better :D

basically make it so when you hit a hotcorner, a semi-circluar pie menu comes out with multiple options on it (user-configurable of course)

that would be very good for two purposes

1) allows people to know what can be done with that hotcorner (otherwise they may not otherwise know)

2) allow more things to be accessed via hotcorners

and for those who say it will decrease productivity (then either don't use it :D) or we could have it so that clicking on the corner does a user-defined task....

for example, say i have the top right hand corner have a pie menu with "close" in the corner (so you move the mouse to the corner, and click, and the active window closes) and then in the pie menu part have "minimise" , "maximise", etc for the active window

then in the top left, have "scale all workspaces" in the corner, and then the different options for scale in the pie menu part...


etc etc, you should get the point by now :D:D

anyone else think this would be good ?? :D
