Exposè

from WinCustomize Forums
Is there one of those effects avail here where when you have multiple windows open and you hit f10 (i think) it will split all the windows up so you can see everything that is open in a smaller size then you click on one window and it maximizes? Macs have this functionality on the OS X version. Now, please don't flame me and say, "if that's what you want, buy a mac"....I have seen different features here that invoves the tornado effect when a window minimizes...yet another panther effect.

I promise, I'm not being rude about the flaming comment. I have seen some nasty comments in the past b/c people like mac features and this is a "Windows" customizing place. Please be nice to me. I'm fragile

there is no way windoze can handle the expose effect well...i've tried on a 3GHZ P4 with 512MB RAM and it was laughable

I have a 2.4 and 512 and it used to work just fine. I had no reason for it so I don't use it anymore.

Alt-Tab Replacement
With this PowerToy, in addition to seeing the icon of the application window you are switching to, you will also see a preview of the page. This helps particularly when multiple sessions of an application are open.

The use of the word "windoze" instead of "Windows" annoys me especially when used by Mac-lovers and Linux zealots.

well YOU annoy us but we don't say anything do we?
Reply #19 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Well I said something about the use of the word "windoze" because I have argued with Linux zealots before plenty of times and see "Windows" spelled that way gets quit annoying.

Doesn't bother me personally although it doesn't seem smart to use that word when discussing the disadvantages of Linux. I don't use words like "linsucks" and "Linucks" because I want my point of view taken seriously. BTW, I am no longer into Linux anymore. I don't even have it on my hard drive anymore. You can read about why I changed my mind about Linux at my blog site: http://tech-cat.joeuser.com/

Only $10

That immediately marks you as a "Windows Zealot" in most people's eyes...

Besides that it strikes me as immature for something so trivial to 'annoy you'.

It's only software - get over it.

I tried WinExpose too from http://www.winexpose.com it doesn't run smoothly on my 3 GHz P4 and 1.5 GB ram. And it doesn't exactly do what Expose on mac do. It takes screenshots and scales them in different corners, where you can pick the one you're looking for. IMO it's not that good, but hey it's only 10 bucks. I believe to have read that an Expose-like feature is something Microsoft have been messing with for several years, but not implemented in Windows. Sort of like virtual desktops you can pick from in a 3D environment like pictures hanging on a wall, in this case screenshots of various apps.
