*lead* provides hot-corners for your desktop, notably for openbox, awesome, i3 and other window managers.

> Despite the screenshot, the sensors are only 1px in size and invisible.
### Features
- hot corners: sensors in the corners of the screen
- hot sides: sensors on center/middle edge of the screen
- freely configurable action for each sensor
- each screen is individually configurable
# Get it
- clone the repository with `$ git clone https://github.com/kernladung/lead`
**or**
- download as zip and extract it
# Build it
*lead* uses [clang](http://clang.llvm.org/) as compiler and [ninja](https://github.com/ninja-build/ninja) as build-tool.
To build *lead* open terminal in the root folder of the repository and:
$ ninja
### Dependencies
- Qt5Widgets
- Qt5Gui
- Qt5Core
### Build
A build `kernladung.lead` is provided in the build dir. It was build on my arch64 system.
# Install it
$ sudo ninja install
# Configure it
On the first run lead will look into these dirs for a conf-file. The first one found will be used.
~/.config/kernladung/lead.conf
/etc/xdg/kernladung/lead.conf
If none of these exists, it will create `~/.config/kernladung/lead.conf` with default values for each screen, ie:
[eDP1]
bottom=
bottomLeft=
bottomRight=
left=
right=
top=
topLeft=
topRight=
To enable a action for a sensor, simply add a command to the corner or side:
[eDP1]
bottom=
bottomLeft=chromium
bottomRight=thunar
left=
right=
top=
topLeft=kernladung.californium toggle
topRight=skippy-xd
Used config-files and theme-files are monitored and changes are applied automatically.
# Use it
*lead* provides the binary `kernladung.lead` which creates sensors for each configured corner or side.
Start *lead* as background process:
$ kernladung.lead &
# Drawbacks
I didnt want to poll the mouse, so i created sensors which works with events. The sensors are transparent, but need a running compositor like compton for that. Without a compositor, they are black.
