Daily Trick 39. New Exposé Feature (10.6)

It surprises me that Apple has finally solved the hard-to-navigate minimized window issue with the release of Snow Leopard. If you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, you won't need to use Open Minimized Window Trick to reveal those minimized windows.

With Snow Leopard, you only need to click-and-hold on the Dock icon of that application and an Exposé display will appear, showing all opened as well as minimized windows.

And if you prefer using Hot Corners to using click-and-hold, you can set it up as one of your hot corner actions; you can do it by following these steps:

  1. Open System Preferences and click on Exposé & Spaces icon
  2. On top of the pane, you will be able to see four select boxes, which each of them is mapped into one hot corner action
  3. Choose Application Windows for one of the boxes
  4. Next time if you want to show all opened windows, you only need to move your cursor to the assigned corner

With simple steps, you can get a wonderful effect. Great!

But only the dock method is new in 10.6 Snow Leopard. The hot corner or hot key function was there in 10.5 Leopard too.

Try enabling the All Windows in one of the Hot Corners, then re-click pressing Shift and they will move back in slow motion a very interesting effect.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.Um3t1rM9D4vaN9sb

9to5Mac is reporting that Apple surprised Snow Leopard beta testers by offering the latest Snow Leopard Seed Update via the operating system’s software updater. Developers were greeted with build 10A394 of Snow Leopard as early as yesterday evening and, instead of having to burn a dual layer DVD and install the new software manually, testers only had to choose the new seed from the list of available updates and hit Install. jogos de motos

If I might —perhaps you should consider adding a few images. I don’t mean to disrespect what you’ve said ; its very enlightening, indeed. However, I think would respond to it more positively if they could be something tangible to your ideas

this seems to be a really good feature. I will use it for sure.

Command-Tab in Mac OS X works really well as a quick application switcher and I use it all the time, but there’s more features available within the Command-Tab application switcher than just hitting Command+Tab itself. Once you’re in the application switcher you can try some of these other commands. High sleepers
