I'm a new user to Winstep Xtreme.

Things are going well and I'm really enjoying Winstep but I have one source of frustration. I have my WorkShelf at the top of my screen and find that even though I have a short delay for activation or drop down when my mouse pointer bumps the top edge of my screen, I am routinely activating it when I do not intend to while selecting tabs in Firefox.

Is there a way to activate the WorkShelf by bumping the right or left edge of the screen or a specific corner of the screen?

The edge to be bumped is associated to the edge the Shelf is docked/attached to.

What you can do is either disable the edge bump activation in the Behavior tab of the Shelf Properties dialog and then assign a keyboard hot key to one of the tabs in the Shelf and use that instead, or you can try *increasing* the edge bump delay (move the slider towards 'Long', not towards 'Short'). The latter should minimize the chances of accidental edge bumps activating the Shelf.

Thank you, Jorge.

However, I would much rather use the bump method than a hot key and would not want to delay the Shelf from appearing when I actually want it. I already have it delayed long enough.

I guess what I'm asking for is the same degree of options for the Shelf that exists for the Dock. I could then, for example, select "Bump Top Left Screen Corner" and avoid accidentally dropping down the Shelf during normal use.

How do I add this to the "Suggestion Box"? 8)
