While some 'in-your-face' differences exist, transitioning from OS X to Windows is not very difficult, even for the most hardcore fans of the former. Nonetheless, after longs periods spent working on OS X or some Linux distributions, you might find yourself missing some neat, little tricks that Windows 10 simply does not offer, for example a “hot corner” feature.

With a self-explanatory name, to your aid comes Hot Corners WX, a straightforward and efficient piece of software designed from the ground up to enhance the functionality of your computer's desktop.

Simply put, the app enables you to switch between windows, show the Start menu, display the notifications and reveal the desktop by moving your cursor to a predefined corner on your computer's screen.

Subsequent to a typical and swift installation process, the utility makes its presence known by smoothly integrating itself with the Taskbar. As default, the corners are inactive since the sensitivity values are set all the way down to zero.

The application comes with a compact main window that displays a functional and pragmatic user interface. Getting to grips with this small app is not at all difficult, as you are only required to set the sensitivity margin for each of the four corners and select from the provided list the action or behavior that suits your workflow most.

It is also important to mention that within the utility's Settings section, you can enable or disable its functionality, make the tray icon visible or hide it, as well as to set up the app to automatically launch at system startup.

To conclude, Hot Corners WX is an efficient and smooth-running utility that, despite its lightweights and unassuming looks, provides Windows 10 users with a quick way to switch between active apps, reveal the desktop, as well as view system notifications without even requiring a mouse click.

To be fair, all these actions can be achieved in Windows 10 by directly using keyboard shortcuts, but flicking the cursor towards a corner is way faster, feels more natural and, let us face it, way cooler.
