Daily Trick 39. New Exposé Feature (10.6)

Advertisements

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.
