Mac 101: Active Screen Corners

Is there a way to temporarily disable the active screen corners without going into System Preferences and resetting each one to the "-" (no function) setting? I've been playing a game that uses the mouse to navigate and I keep accidentally falling into Dashboard or Desktop or what-have-you, but I hate having to undo and reset my screen corners each time I start or stop the game.
Any suggestions?

Recently one of my Macs refused to respond to its hot corner command to activate the screen saver which I use to quickly lock the screen. Resetting the preference and logging out and back in failed to restore this hot corner. I had to restart to get it working again.

Exposé is one of my favourite features... although I should point out that it's not exclusive to Leopard since I used it on Tiger and only just recently upgraded... but it is one of the better features for multi-window type people. My setup is usually upper left=desktop, lower left=dashboard, lower right=all windows, upper right=app windows (and more recently, spaces)

I absolutely LOVE the active screen corners!

Top Right = Spaces
Top Left = Dashboard
Bottom Left = All Windows
Bottom Right = Desktop

Need some help though. Is there any way to get an active screen corner to do two things? I use the top right corner for spaces, but I find it more useful if it shows Spaces AND All Windows (Exposé) at the same time.

I know there's a way around it using the blue blob (or glob, or whatever), but you have to click on that blob.

At the moment, I set up my active screen corners as top right spaces, then I just click the middle mouse button (which I reserved for All Windows).

I don't mind the status quo, but it'd be nice if i could have it do both at once.... maybe a terminal command??

Hi !
I use a dual monitor setup (just recently) and used to REALLY LOVE the screen corners thing. But now, the bottom right screen corner is no longer active on my primary monitor, and I have to drag the mouse ALL the way to the other monitor lower right corner, thus making it no longer useful.
Do any of you know a way to make the active corners only work on the primary monitor ??

thanks for your help (in advance)

I don't think this was mentioned, but you can also add a modifier key to activate hot corners, like apple-option-top right will perform X command. Just try holding control, command, option or shift on the dropdown menu to see your options.

This is actually really helpful to keep from accidentally hitting a corner, having to hold down another key can give you a bit more control if you (like me) swing the mouse around like a crazy person.

Multiple possibilities for one corner would be even better, but that'd probably add a lot more complexity than it's worth :)

I'm incredibly jealous of these, I've got to say. Back in Win98, you had an active corners feature where you could, for example, assign one corner as a "disable screensaver" area if you just wanted to sit back and stare at the screen. And then MS took it away.

Is there something that might get in the way of active corners?

I've got the 'clear all windows' tied to a corner, and sometimes it just doesn't (I locked it to two of the corners, and neither will work when there's a problem).

This has been one of my favorite things about Mac OS since I discovered it. It's an absolutely key feature to excellent productivity for us artists.

Top Left = Screensaver
Top Right = Desktop
Bottom Right = Spaces
Bottom Left = All Windows

Only negative to these is that if someone else is using your computer and they accidentally venture into one of the corners, they have no idea what is happening.

I wouldn't mind screen corners if there was just some way to control the sensitivity of them. When I'm using the track pad it isn't much of a problem, but when I'm using an external mouse I'm constantly setting them off on accident which means I end up not using the top corners (the worst offenders for my setup). I've searched high and low for a solution to this, but have found nothing.
