This is a little like what I was thinking about doing, but more clean, and more simple than mine. And it works - I couldn't see how to enforce different colors in each corner in my implementation. (Something like what Max did *could've* worked... but that's just crazy)

Ask and ye shall receive!

The mechanism will accept any valid 4-digit sudoku. You could force a specific one by placing the givens and surrounding them with rough.

(Or you could just get rid of most of the mechanism and have panels below the board in the right places, of course, but that would give away the answer...)
