Feature request: Toggle/Disable hotcorner functionality when another app is full screen

[LisaJackson24-2]

Thank you for the app, although I haven't actually tried it because there are too many prerequisites for its use (having to compile the executable myself). It would be great if you could provide the pre-compiled executable file. This would be more user-friendly.

Furthermore, I can only assume that the hot corners work even if another application is running in full-screen mode. This is very problematic as it leads to to false positives, for example, during games.

Also, I think that the program works not only on Windows 10, but also on Windows 11. Therefore, it would be worth changing the name a little.

I hope you will take my recommendations and suggestions into account. Wish you a good day.

Sincerely,
Lisa Jackson

Hi Lisa,
We're releasing a pre-compiled executable shortly, and agree with your suggestion to rename the project to reflect support for windows 10 and 11.
The app seeks to emulate the behaviour of Mac OSX hotcorners, which work even when apps are full-screen, so this is intended behaviour.
Thanks for your feedback, I hope you find the project useful 👍

Thank you for your response. As far as I understand, you do not plan to implement such a feature, even optionally, to pause application when another program window is in full-screen mode? There is a special utility on GitHub for MacOS that specifically addresses this issue. Also MacOS is generally not oriented towards gaming. And for Windows, such work is very problematic.

I'll turn this thread into a feature request for that option 👍 also, a pre-compiled release can now be found here: https://github.com/Cutwell/windows-hotcorners/releases/tag/0.1

This feature can be tracked / contributed to on branch https://github.com/Cutwell/windows-hotcorners/tree/feature/pause-on-fullscreen. The current implementation analyses open processes and attempts to detect if they are full-screen or not, however in practice this doesn't detect full-screen videos or applications (via F11 toggle). Feel free to fork the branch and make your own PR if this is a priority feature for you.
