Comment(by BHunsaker):

 > Toolbar Hiding was an idea on the table in the early days of toolbars,
 which we've since thrown out

 The screen space will always be a constrained resource.  It should be
 allowed/expected that the current activity will desire use of the whole
 screen.  I hope whatever has replaced toolbar hiding will account for
 this.

 I believe that the user should be able to assign functions to each hot
 corner or disable each one.  There should be an assignable delay before
 activation.

 The frame may grow in importance and the default settings could still be
 for the corners to immediately display the frame.

 Any assumption that all four corners should do the same thing is wrong.

 Personally I hate hot corners as the accuracy of the current track pad
 makes it far too easy to accidentally move to those positions.  Even with
 improvements to the trackpad, they are still the easiest places to hit --
 but that doesn't mean the user wants to have the frame displayed.  With
 the small keyboard and close proximity of the "display the fame" key, I
 believe many users will disable hot corners if the control panel allows
 for it.

 panel
