After multiple failed attempts to look up words near the corner of the screen I want to reduce the size of the corner gesture tap zones, and would like to confirm my understanding prior to messing with the advanced options.

It seems that the DTAP_ZONE_[TOP/BOTTOM]_[LEFT/RIGHT] structures are the ones that I want to edit, and it also seems that the x,y,w,h variables are what I want to change, with the values being a fractional ratio of the width, so to make them half the size I’d change 1/8 to 1/16, or more specifically:

Code:

DTAP_ZONE_BOTTOM_RIGHT = { x = 7/8, y = 7/8, w = 1/8, h = 1/8}

…becomes…

Code:

DTAP_ZONE_BOTTOM_RIGHT = { x = 15/16, y = 15/16, w = 1/16, h = 1/16}

…and, looking at how they’re used, it looks like I could also use floating point percentages, such as:

Code:

DTAP_ZONE_BOTTOM_RIGHT = { x = 0.9, y = 0.9, w = 0.1, h = 0.1}

Am I reading the code correctly?
