Nazeeh’s Little Corner on the Web

Alright…I’ll admit it… I am quite the fan of Mac OS X. I LOVE the Expose feature specially and how well it works. So when Vista came out, I set out to find something that can replicate that effect. I came across this C# application that a guy threw together in like one night that does a pretty decent job of imitating Expose. The guy posted his code in the forum thread on gamedev.net. His version supports live thumbnails as well, so it’s pretty damn cool.

What his version missed though was polish. It was an .exe that you had to run everytime you wanted the effect. So I modified it to become a tray icon application with support for hot corners. This way you can specify a corner on the screen where if your mouse goes there, the effect activates.

You can get my version from here. I included the source (which is not very sexy) incase someone wants to take this even further!

This is what it looks like:
