[Preview] Iexpose

Hi everyone, I have been working on a Exposé clone for 2 days now and here is a preview app.

What need's to be done is a better window arrangement, with playing with scale.

The app is joined :)

To use it, launch it and press F9

To close it, use CTRL ALT DEL :)

Cool - this is awesome - however, I noticed that with it running while Y'z Shadow is on, a little invisible window receives a shadow from Y'z Shadow - yet there's no way to exclude it, since it's not visible, is there?

Also, a question - are you planning to make the Exposé clone so that it excludes Explorer/the desktop itself?

Anyway, though, this is wonderful work, especially after only 2 days' time. Kudos!

how do i use this. i dont understand.

#37193

Yeah it definetly needs an exclusion list, it also minimized my dock, my objectbar, my desktop, once with regular icons and once with desktopX icons.

#37195

Yeah, an exclusion list would be good.

So its not possible to poll minimized windows, right? Oh well.

This app is awesome. This could definitly be an almost perfect clone (except for the cool effect, but thats not your fault).

Keep up the good work. (Y)

definetly doin great so far. and after two days! niice. :woot:

yep excusion list ^_^ . I know thers still no animation but the effect of "exposing" happened instantly here wich is totaly great.

if u hit F9 more than once it keeps on zoomin out! :D:lol:

#37203

Feels buggy but your on the right track thats for sure. Looking forward to your progress. Thank you Siwu. ^_^

#37206

I was thinking, this method could be used to make a minimize in place program as well. It'd probably even be easier to do than expose.

#37210

damn its coming along! you know if you keep pressing f9 it shrinks them even miore and u can keep doing it till all windows are tiny pixels.. lol!

its gunna be a great program when its done!

#37229

#37277

and my sar bar, and y'z dock :lol:

i like.

#37308

i know this is a beta, but should the start bar look like this when using iExpose

Perhaps this happened because im using a modified uxtheme.dll, but i thought most people on this site would be. Anyway its looking good so far.

smoke: great idea about adding minimize in place to this program

#37410

iExpose app mirror ---> clicky

#37440

Okay, I am now working on a alpha version of iExpose.

Yes, this one wasn't even alpha :)

In this version, the app won't be organized anymore in "lines" but will plug into each other :)

But this feature is pretty hard to code, coz I have to emulate a desktop in memory with . and * to emulate the windows and the desktop :)

But don't worry till this I'll release a version which include exclusion :)

#37557

siwu,

Just from using this buggy pre alpha I can tell this program will be really useful and change the way I use my desktop. Keep up the great work I'm really looking forward to this app. It's rare we get practical aqua apps that aren't just for screenshots. this kicks ass.

#37678

excellent to hear... yea it will be very very handy to have with the desktop!
