Don't know if you've seen this : https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/idea-dream-wish-exposé-for-classic-mac-os.39438/page-6#post-436753 It's super cool. Tested it on 7.6.1, works fine. Beta is downloadable in the thread. |

Post by galgot after a long time :-) *wave* I came across it before. I love the idea of people writing new stuff for Mac OS, just Exposé ... is so OSX. :-) I personally fail to see the use of it because we have WindowShade or CMD + Tab app switching on Mac OS. It feels to me like an aftermarket solution tinkered to accomodate to those who use OSX and want to "feel home" on Mac OS instead of learning the Mac OS ways. :-) Still, it's great to see new software popping up and I don't want to belittle the great efforts / coding! It's just that for me, I fail to see how that would be useful to me and my workflow. OSX converts may feel differently, but then why not use the real thing anyway? I remember last time I read that there were still bugs, i.e. it wouldn't work with a lot of apps in the foreground. Are those problems gone?

"Post by galgot after a long time :-) *wave*" I have "on and off" moments...  Hi Bolkonskij.Sure it's still a beta, but the last one I tested on 7.6.1 worked with all the apps in the foreground I tried with. I find it pretty useful, particularly on small screens. Hope they will carry on working on it...

Quote from: Bolkonskij Still, it's great to see new software popping up and I don't want to belittle the great efforts / coding! Agreed! And who knows, one successful project could beget another! While I've used OS X for many years, I haven't made much use of Expose. It was one of those features that looked cool, especially when linked to the two side buttons on something like an Apple Magic Mouse, but wasn't useful to me. Besides, I preferred linking those buttons to the application switcher instead. Felt more familiar. Still, it amazes me to see these new coding projects for Mac OS, so thanks to galgot for calling attention to this.
