- Actions for direct control of Spotify and Firefox MPRIS media players.
- Action Activate Screensaver to turn off monitor.
- Toggle Dark Gtk Theme now supports new Ubuntu accented themes.
- CHC-E preferences window icons follow Ubuntu Yaru theme accents. If Yaru is not detected, blue accent will be used, which is close to the default Adwaita accent.
- DND Window Thumbnail: on-hover overlays - close button and icon indicating current function of the scroll wheel; secondary click shows a full size preview of the window. Still work in progress.
- Custom Color Tint action - you can select any color you want on the Options page of CHC-E's prferences window.
- Option: Hot Corners Require Shift to allow you to inhibit all direct Hot corner triggers at once when needed.
- Fixed:
- Slow startup of the prferences window and lagging first switch to other corner pages - action menu combo boxes were replaced with buttons + treeview menu which means more than 10x faster startup and no lags in UI
- Missing path for relocatable corner schema not allowing corner settings backup. Now the Extensions Sync extension can store all CHC-E settings.
- Custom Menu - actions targetting focused window don't work, menu steals focus from window in GS 40+

- TreeView submenus expand on a single-click instead of double-click
- New Make file simplifies installation from source.

- Mouse button triggeres now react on release event instead of press event. Reasons: 1. top edge press events are sometimes blocked by unknown element in the fullscreen mode in Ubuntu 22.04, 2. prevents accidental action triggering when unmaximizing a window by dragging from the top panel, 3. button release event closes Custom Menu in GS 3.xx
New in Custom Hot Corners - Extended 16 (May 18, 2022)
- Added:
- Action Close Current Workspace (all its windows) - allows you to close all windows that belong to the currently active workspace and remove it drom the list (if you use dynamic workspaces).
- Action Switch to Second Last Workspace - allows you to switch to the last non-empty workspace, if the workspaces are managed dynamically.
- DND Window Thumbnail can be switched to the app icon and back to the window thumbnail using Ctrl + primary click.
- Window Switcher (actions Previous Window, Next Window) now uses full-size windows previews instead of activating them directly. This change allows you to switch windows in MRU order, not just in stable sequence.
- Option Sort by Stable Sequence for the Window Switcher (actions Previous Window, Next Window) allows you to scroll through windows in a stable order (as they were created) instead of the default Most Recently Used order.
- Action Rotate Windows Across Workspaces Left/Right/Up/Down allows you to move all windows that belong to the current monitor (the one with the mouse pointer) one workspace left/right (or up/down) in wraparound cycle. This action allows to fake switch workspace on secondary moniotrs, if option Workspaces on primary monitor only is disabled (you can use GNOME Tweaks app).
- Action Switch Workspace on Current Monitor Only allows the same as the previous one, but for the primary monitor it switches workspace as usual and moves windows on other monitors across workspaces in the oposite direction to compensate for the change, so you will see the same windows on secondary monitors, like the workspace didn't change.
- On multimonitor system when you open preferences window, osd label with monitor index appears on each display
- Fixed:
- Keyboard shortcuts do not update on-change
- Double-click on window thumbnail don't work in GS 42
- Other changes:
- Action Switch to Most Recent Workspace is now based on the AltTab window list instead of workspace change tracking, so you'll get the workspace with the recent user interaction.
- GSettings i/o operations were refactored
- Preferences window now supports new GNOME 42 Adwaita toolkit and also Gtk3 and Gtk4 versions of prefs windows were refactored to get visually closer to the Adwaita version.
