Expose-clone 2.4 (shows thumbnails of open windows)
Expose-clone 2.4 (shows thumbnails of open windows)
Screenshot:
http://puppyfiles.org/dotpupsde/dotpups ... ose2.4.jpg
Mac-OSX user know it - you hit a button, and all windows of your screen are shown as small snapshots.
So it is a kind of "visual Task-list". Clicking a thumbnail brings the window to front.
This is great, if you have many windows open.
There are 2 ways to start expose.
Drag "expose2now" on your desktop, and click on it.
Or start the permanent visible icon in your menue and click on it.
Options: If you get no correct screenshots, you can edit these 2 files in the texteditor, and try to set the delay-value to 50000 or so.
/usr/local/expose2.4/expose2
/usr/local/expose2.4/expose2now
You must install 2 dotpups, expose2.4.pup and imlib2.pup.
If you want another background, replace background2.jpg in the /resource -folder with your own.
Download:

Install imlib2, too!

tip:
If you use "xcompmgr" (a tool to draw shadows and transparent windows), you have no delay at all! It keeps window snapshots already in a buffer, and expose will use this fast buffer.

Re: Expose-clone 2.4 (shows thumbnails of open windows)
I set it toMU wrote: Options: you can edit expose2 and expose2now in beaver, and try to set the delay-value to 300000. This is faster, but on some systems the screenshots will not look good then.
delay="100000";
seems OK with that
I am using fvwm95 and the 'page selector' (bottom right)
and 'close programs bomb' top right appear as giant icons
Clicking on a minimised screenshot brings that to the fore.
- which I suppose is the main point? Good idea
Will now see if I use it . . .
Many thanks Mark

also try the dotpup attached.
Install, then run "skippy" and press F9
If it works, add
skippy &
to your .xinitrc to have it always running
Tell me if it is missing a lib.
