Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This app has so many great features, especially for freeware, that I am considering donating. For one thing, I have 2 monitors and CornerClick knows this and has a pull-down list, and a bubble pops up on the screen you just selected to tell you which one is which. All of the other features are more or less obvious, like when you move you cursor to a corner and it tells you what click/right-click will do (like the pic) and it changes when you press shift or option or whatever. This doesn't work if you have it set to do something upon hovering in the corner, but that sort of makes sense. Also you can turn exposÃƒÂ© off because CornerClick can activate it. Finally, I can only think of one drawback which also applies to exposÃƒÂ©: When someone else is using the computer and moves the mouse and something suddenly happens they get utterly confused. In the case of exposÃƒÂ© and clearing to the desktop it is fun to watch their faces when everything suddenly swoops offscreen and they panic and ask you to get everything back. Of course there really isn't anything the developer can do about this, but from a user's perspective it is easy enough to only set actions that activate with a click or shift/option/whatever key combination if you want to hover. So I guess this is actually a plus for the developer. Thanks for making this free.
CornerClick is great

Once the developer implements keystrokes and per-appiication settings, this will be a must-must-have (it's already a must-have). And it's free. I use this so much I dropped a PayPal donation to the guy.
Love this app

I like expose but I always find myself inadvertantly moving all my windows offscreen by accident. With this little baby you can get in under control, thank you. Also the ability to launch scripts as well as apps is nice. Thank you.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />At first, I was surprised by the lack of options, but it's a cool idea to have it as a prefPane and it surprisingly helpful. More actions would be nice though.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Fitt's Law describes the 5 fastest pixels to access from anywhere on the screen. The screen corners are numbers 2,3,4 and 5.... Only the pixel directly under the mouse at any given time is faster to access, and this is not a fixed point... It is not a new idea, just a forgotten one. MaxMenus slowed down my system. CornerClick does not. This gets a place next to LaunchBar, which is the highest compliment anyone could pay to an OSX GUI enhancement.
WOW!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A really brand new idea. And it's works perfectly. I like very much this new way to do things. Strange that nobody thinks of that before. Until today, corners were just used for small things like starting screensavers and little commands in some applications. Now, they can be used for more usefull things. Very nice!
