Expose in Linux using Compiz
December 9th, 2007
I love Expose. It’s one of Apple’s greatest contributions to the computing world. I use it on Vista with Switcher for Windows. After some playing around with Compiz-Fusion on Ubuntu 7.10, I was able to get Expose working in Linux! Here are the steps to make it work:
- Go to System | Preferences | Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
- Go to the Windows Management section and load “Scale” (View Screenshot)
- Go to the “Actions” tab and double-click either “Initiate Window Picker” (includes windows on the current desktop only) or “Initiate Window Picker for All Windows” (includes windows on all desktops)
- Now you can set whatever shortcut you want to use. I prefer using the Top Left screen edge, ala OSX. Choose whatever you prefer and click “OK”.
- If you would like to customize the feature at all, go back to the General tab and play with the options until you’re satisfied.
That’s it! I hope you enjoy! Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like. Beautiful, isn’t it?
