Old-style Mac OS X Leopard Exposé in Snow Leopard

  • I don't understand why they changed Exposé to proportional windows. It's not as easy to find what you're looking for--relative window size was the easiest way (for me) to quickly understand which window is which.

  • The old expose has better keyboard support. Using the arrow keys I can almost always select the correct window with the first keydown.

    Thanks for posting this.

  • Visually, I think the old-style of exposé makes window discovery much easier. I find myself using exposé with hot corners almost every time I switch windows. I'm going to be using the mouse later to test something in a browser window, so I might as well use it for the hot corners, too.

  • This is all kinds of awesome. The "old" exposé was The Right Wayâ„¢ to do it.

  • I prefer the new-style Exposé, I find it more visually appealing. I'd never used it before Snow Leopard, but the changes made it much more appealing to me.

    (Meta: I'm always interested why blatant copyright infringement of developer-only software (seen multiple times on HN) is upvoted -- or posted in the first place.)

  • "Note that you will have to repeat this process every time you upgrade your Mac OS to a new patch release (10.6.5 -> 10.6.6)."

  • This is the first thing I do on any new Snow Leopard install. Not looking forward to it (likely) breaking permanently in Lion :/

  • unfortunately this kills the "minimize windows into dock icon" option :(

    why can't I have my cake and eat it too?
