bl-hotcorners and rtile

Playing around with bl-hotcorners with the following rc

[Hot Corners]
top_left_corner_command = tile --all
top_right_corner_command = tile --cycle
bottom_left_corner_command = tile --swap
bottom_right_corner_command =

tile=rtile. And it feels a bit laggy, any tips for improving speed?

bl-hotcorners has "check_intervall = 0.2" and various "time.sleep(xx)" functions. Perhaps you can tweak those delays?

Interesting this came up today.

Just yesterday I was revisiting bl-hotcorners and previous dev discussions, decided that nobody was using it and dropped it from the Lithium bunsen-utilities.
It was due for a rewrite, but was abandoned.

Should it go back in again, with the existing code?

(The related bl-aerosnap was buggy and dropped a long time ago.)

Maybe Unia just needs a gentle nudge?

I guess rtile is not extremly fast to start with (ancient machine thought)

time tile --all  
tile --all  0.17s user 0.06s system 58% cpu 0.401 total

time tile --all
tile --all  0.16s user 0.06s system 67% cpu 0.335 total

time tile --cycle
tile --cycle  0.18s user 0.06s system 58% cpu 0.404 total

So I have about 0.4s delay before something new can happen?

Just saw the thread.

Is bl-hotcorners still alive?

I'm still using it

4x less memory consumption than bl-hotcorners

Trying it now: slightly more cpu usage though, but both of them have minimal mem use on my machine. lwa-hot-corners polls the mouse position every few millisecs, and I can't see where to change that in the code before compiling.
bl-hotcorners has check_intervall = and time.sleep() values which can be adjusted in the script. (It should be relatively easy to add script args to adjust polling interval, bounce distance etc)

I forget the last thing I was writing if I don't log in or a few days.

Preety good hot corner launcher in my opinion.

Did you see my enhancements? lwa-hot-corners: possible alternative to bl-hotcorners. But multi-monitor setups are a problem, same as bl-hotcorners.

Whenever you log in, there's this near the top :

So that's what they are for.
Small letters and blue, blend in with the blue forum theme are difficult to spot.
How would I know? They could be entirely for decorative purposes.

Tell @nobody that the colours are an issue for you, in the theme you are using. Try the Crunchbang theme - it hasn't got that problem

It's the only theme I can live with, to be honest.
