Increase hot corner size

Yes, thats right, contrary to most others, I want to increase the size of the detection for hot corners. Specifically the start and open programs ones (left side).

This is because I recently changed to a dual monitor set up, and unless i get the top/bottom 5px (seems like 5px, but that's a guess) of the left hand side of the screen, my mouse jumps into my other monitor.

This has really been bugging me the last few days becase I had gotten used to quickly moving the mouse over to the left until it stopped, then going up/down depending on what hot corner I wanted. Of course, that is now in muscle memory and I keep jumping screens by mistake. I am starting to remember, but as I said, the detection is so small I keep missing it.

Any help? Couldn't find anything on google but I swear I saw someone post here before to decrease them with a registry tweak, however I can't find that now either.

The shared edge corners are "sticky", so you could just get used to moving to the horizontal edge (top or bottom) and sliding over till you hit the hot spot, which captures your pointer and keeps it from going to the other display...

Actually feel really stupid now. Why didn't I think of that :s

I was trying to go diagonally and hit the 5px tall edge. :laugh:

Thanks for that, I'll just have to keep reminding myself and eventually it becomes second nature

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.

      Just remember - Microsoft is a trillion dollar company. They didn't have to raise the price this high. They chose to.
