I would like a hot corner functionality similar to that of Linux mint 17. Is there any way I can achieve that on Xubuntu?

Wait, it canbe done, if this askubuntu.com/q/434137/72216 still works, I an make it work for you with the hot corner. Could you try and post back? (Baking oliebollen at the moment :) )– Jacob VlijmDec 31, 2015 at 14:52
