Active Screen Corners is one of the most underrated features of the Mac OS X operating system, mainly because most people don’t even know it exists.

In this helpful video tutorial we’re going to do a thorough overview of Exposé & Spaces in Leopard and show how they can integrate seamlessly with Active Screen Corners to boost your productivity. When you’ve got a lot of application windows open at the same time it can be hard to manage all of them. These great features of Mac OS X can be utilized not only to help organize your open windows, but also to help you effortlessly switch between programs with the simple flick of a mouse. Whether you’re a new Mac user or an experienced veteran, implementing the setup we demonstrate will undoubtedly enhance and improve your Mac experience.

This tutorial has been the most useful for me. I was used to the greatness of compiz on Unix, and was disappointed by Mac until i saw this site. This is not as awesome as compiz, but its really a great tool.

Thanks again

This was a fantastic video and teaching lesson. I am so new to Mac and am so intimidated because I come from windows. I can’t believe all that you can do with what you have shown in your demonstration. You did a great job. But as teachers always do; they go so fast, I will have to watch it again and again. It was great. I hope that you have more out there for me to watch. This was my first.

MacYourself was established in July 2008 by founders (and Apple enthusiasts) Ant and Frankie P., who wanted to create a tips & tricks site geared towards the average or new Apple product user. The name itself was an accident, shouted by Frankie P. in a moment of frustration when he couldn’t think of anything clever. Immediately, a light went off in Ant’s head and he eventually convinced Frankie P. that it wasn’t as ridiculous as it first seemed. Find out more about us or send a friendly message. It's great to hear from people!
