What did you mean by rectangular texture siwu ?

and if it is faster and if we won't see the difference, why don't use it by default ?

and the will real expose plugins work REALLY like expose ?

( i mean exactlly the same vision results )

and to continue windows animating i may have an idea of this

you can try to hook the GDI paint function like does windows blinds

and try to redirect this on your software.

and if you want more computer to try this i have nearly 20 different computer available.

( from some old pII to recent P4 or amd or so on ... )

see you.

My mistake, by rectangular I meant square textures.

Squares textures takes more memory, and because expire will maintain screenshots in memory (actually for now), I think some people will complain if we only use that.

But maybe it will be the default option, but not the only one

Now about GDI, the bad thing is that there are a LOT of drawing functions in GDI, and you have to count GDI+ as well. But I'll try to discuss that with the stardock guys Thanks of the hint

Also, thanks for the offer (computers)

Soooooooooo, I worked a little tonight, and here are 2 fresh new videos (I'm sorry, I can't post binaries for now).

The first one demonstrates getting to expose mode and then back (animation speed and stuff are plugin driven).

The second one demonstrates possibilities when your cursor hits a window while in expose mode (plugins again)

Links:

expire_video2.avi (1.6mb)

expire_video3.avi (3.99mb)

Hope you'll like them

PS: for info purpose only, songs are:

video2: Nu-NRG - Live at Orgasmatron

video3: MarcoV - Simulated

And it's not here only for the video, I was only listening to it while making the video

Wow siwu! The new videos look absolutely brilliant. This app actually seems to have the potential to become better than Expose itself. :lol:

#150551

you did much better on that video, superb music-action sync!!

#150552

waow that's impressive man!!!

If the final program is so smooth and clean... then waaaooowww...

I love your updates man ;)

#150639

omfg....

that looks really promising, but the window arranging algo don't seems to be totally ok.

and what about this crappy blue screen behind the windows in expose mode ?

continue siwu, ca cartonne :woot:

#150643

so its appears that i cant edit my own post....

so i have two questions for siwu : why aren't you recording directly from the screen ?

because its a bit ugly from your cam

and what does it means "Warn: < 0 ( ) 10 >" (under my nick on the left ) ?

#150646

LOL, that means that you dont have any warnings from staff yet. When you break the rules, post rude comments and such, you are warned.

Hi guys, I just posted another video 2 mins ago

Check the expire website for it

This one was made using Fraps, not my poor cam

Hope you'll like it

And don't forget to post your thoughts on the forum !

Perhaps you should add support for real 3d (anaglyph / page flip) so you can actually use your computer in 3d. I know Nvidia has drivers that allow it to process most any game in 3d, provided it's full screen.

#153009

*falls over from hotness* I would love to see what other great ideas u got cookin up in ur brain man, u got some great stuff here!! That would probably kill my system...lmao 256MB can't handle that!!!

#153067

Man..you better watch yourself. This could be a HUGE competitor for expose in OSX. It looks amazing!

I saw the new video on your site...

...nothing behind FANTASTICAWASOMEINCREDIBLE piece of software.

The animation so smooth, so clean... i hope to see this running on my PC soon, but, as i say to all programmers, take your time, we wait... and try to eat and sleep, at least a little .

BTW... when Stardock and Apple call you for a millionary jog with then... will you forget all your AS friends :naughty: . I wish you luck... because, tallent, you have a lot.

#153276

since we took down the old video, we made a new one grab it on our website

#162701

as much as I appreciate your efforts - you definitely still have to work on the algorithm for window-positioning to avoid such patterns like the 4x4 in this video.

But please continue this project, I really like it!!

#162708

someone downloaded the vid without looking at the comments posted on our board

[edit] *hint* video details are explained on our board *hint [/edit]

#162726

well - you could have mentioned this here, too.

(using very basic algorithms)

but, knowing that, it's fine

greets,
