How on earth can I shut off hot corners, on the display for my Mac Mini running Leopard you can see the visible colour changes for the menu locations and I'd like to kill that, is it possible ?

go to preferences, then expose and spaces. Hit the expose tab, and you will see four hot corner drop down menu's. set them all to blank.

Nope, didn't do it, still have little coloured corners....just a little annoyance in my opinion.....just al corners and slightly different colour than the rest of the display, doesn't do it when I kick the Mini into XP.....via Bootcamp so I know it's OS X specific....

Hot corners, on or off, doesn't discolour the display. To my knowledge it dosn't give you any visual indication that hot corners is on or off.

If you're getting coloured corners of the display I'd suggest it's something else causing it.

Any chance of a screen shot?

I'm pretty sure that that's a 3rd party app that's doing that.

Look in System Preferences - Accounts - login items and see what you have loading at startup

There is definitely a third-party app that does that. I thought it was TinkerTool, but after a little searching it looks like it must be something else...

Since it's a used Mini, look in /Applications for any third-party apps that do special things to the system. Onyx maybe? I know it is a third-party app, I just can't remember which one.

It was Max Menus, and yes, a used Mini, with a new (much larger 160Gb v 60Gb) HD I put in the day I got it home and restored it with the system discs then upgraded with Leopard, it's all fresh but I installed Max Menus and that's what did the odd ball coloured corners....ugh disabled now

Thanks for the help guys !
