These days, what makes everybody who sees Mac OSX for the first time drop his jaw is a tool called "Exposé". With the stroke of a key, all currently open windows are scaled down and arranged in a non-overlapping way. This way, the user gets a perfect overview over all running application and by clicking on one of these "thumbnails" all windows are restored as before, just with clicked-on window on top. This is a pretty eye-candy alternative to task bars and similar stuff... but wait a minute! Did I just say "eye-candy"? Isn't that the magic word that makes everyone immediately think of our beloved window manager - The Enlightenment?! Yes it is... So here comes my question: although Max OSX' Exposé also has some other features - should it not be possible and straight-forward to build a similar functionality like the one described above into E17 with the many cool, superfast, highly optimized libraries at hand? And if so, would such a tool be a welcome feature for E17? (I mean, come on, Expose even starts with an E already... :-)) Opinions? -- 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse f�r Mail, Message, More +++ |
