[Solved] something like hot corners in xfce

Hi, I am using opensuse with xfce. Is there a possibility to enable a function that magnifies the program window to half size of the screen when I move this window to left/right side of screen (something like hot corners in KDE)?

If you use Archlinux:

yaourt -S xfwm4-tiling

Re: [Solved] something like hot corners in xfce

Thank you very much This is exactly what I was looking for. I had a little trouble installing it on opensuse (missing packages) but everything is working now

How to install it on Opensuse:
1. download tarball from:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40030
and
http://archive.xfce.org/src/xfce/xfwm4/4.8

2. Install in yast:
patterns-openSUSE-devel_basis

3. In console:

cd Downloads/xfwm4-4.8.3

patch -p1 < /home/user_name/Downloads/xfwm4-tiling/xfwm4-4.8.3-tiling-1.patch

4.

./configure

(install every missing package until its done)

5.

make
sudo make install

6. restart and enjoy

I googled a bit and found this very easy approach. Nothing to install just some configurations.

As far as I can understand from the above this is what you are after.
