Definitely a must-watch for this program. It's very smooth and seems to work fine straight out of the gate. The only thing I noticed is that it doesn't seem to play nicely with WindowBlinds. When activating Exposé, it doesn't draw the window frames. Not sure as to particular cause but it might because I suspect it is because WindowBlinds draws its own window frames.
Will definitely keep my eyes on the developement of this one. Thankyou very much for the software. Hotkeys would be a huge plus but as it is it's an great addition to the list of OS X clones.
Edit: Another question...how do we go about excluding windowless objects? Say things like the dock (I'm using RK Launcher). Could you perhaps make the exceptions list take Classes or handles for that matter?
Edit #2: I just noticed that when I put the computer into hibernation, WinExposé throws up a constant stream of error messages. I wasn't able to see what the message said because it completely froze the system and I was forced to do a hard reboot. My guess is that it wasn't able to find the hook to the System API to call the window names anymore or something to that affect. Just thought you should know. If I can see what the error message says I'll let you know.

I got a similar problem as you can see in the screenshot, plus It lookslike it has a problem with styler toolbar.The animation is quite smoot right now but It would be good if you could do it even smoother.

guys, the issues which appear with Windowblinds and Styler are known issues to affect nearly all expose-like clones being developed commercially by TopDesk, WinPlosion, etc.. I believe you can get Reflexvision (sp?) to handle them better using a different screen capture method, but I think matonga has less complex & more rewarding things he could be investing his attention towards getting his program rock-solid. My 2 cents (as was previously mentioned):
~ Solid Implementation of an Exclusion List (System) which is easy for a user to work with.
~ Consideration for MultiMonitor Support. I only mention this now as I know, other developed clones ran into problems later down the line as they were never originally implemented with a conscious intent to extend teh program to MultiMon Support.
~ A user friendly way of modifying settings.
Don't get me wrong.. I use the styler toolbar and windowblinds and I wish wish wish the expose clones would not leave those ugly black frames or missing frames, and maybe matonga will be the one to finally figure out a work around *crosses fingers* I just wanted to clarify that some of the mentioned issues may have to be chalked up to the limitations of windows graphics system and/or program compatibilities.

Congratulation this a very nice
Just tried it, works right out the box for me, only one small problem which happened after I select the window I wanted to focus on. I've attached a screenshot of the problem.
[/URL]
The top 2 white sections were icons used by avedesk. The white line on the left should be "runme" but again it's disappeared. I've had to shut both down and restart them.
What is bizarre I'm also running 2 more avedesk "icons". The weather, in the bottom left of the screen and gmail notifier, bottom right of the screen, but they are both fine.
Specs of the PC are as follows
XP home
3ghz
512mb
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 TurboCache
If you need more info just ask.

Ok I changed the avedesk from "normal" to "desktop icon" and it's works fine now. Thanks firecracker for the tip.
The same problem still happens with the runme app. It happens after I hover over right corner then select one of the exposed windows. I can't see anyway to change runme, at the moment anyway. I if come up with a solution I'll post back.

Strange problem, I will be putting more debug info inside the graphics engine, to see if I can find the cause of that bug. What's video board are you using? How much memory it has? Shared with main memory, or the video board has it's own memory?
graphics: ATI Radeon 9700/9800 mobility 128 MB video memory (not shared)
the newest program version (28th of september) gives me an error message saying "Division by zero". the 26th version does not. Hope I could help.

Can I get a screenshot of that? Division by zero is a bit of inside joke.
@matonga: the last two versions didn't work for me, but strangely I just tried today, and it works.
Also, I just tried the Sept 28th version, it it works too.
