I want to be able to have an external monitor plugged in, but at the same time activate Dashboard with the top right corner of my main screen. Right now, I need to drag my mouse all the way over to the top right corner of the external monitor. CornerClick solves the problem, but I miss being able to hide Dashboard with the same gesture I use to close it. Instead, I have to click the mouse, which I find annoying. Any ideas?

Put the monitor on the left instead of the right... or lower it a little. With Apple's software, you have to have a corner that your mouse can stop in for it to be useable for hotcorners. Two monitors side by side at the same resolution means that you only have four corners.

Well, I actually have five corners right now, because the right monitor is at a higher resolution. I can get six corners by moving stuff around, but what I'm after is eight .
