Mission Control, formerly Dashboard, Exposé, and Spaces, is a feature of the Mac OS Xoperating system. Dashboard, Exposé, and Spaces were combined together and renamed Mission Control in 2011 with the release of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Exposé was first previewed on June 23, 2003 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference as a feature of the then forthcoming Mac OS X 10.3 Panther.^[1]

Mission Control allows a user to do the following:

• View all open application windows
• View all open application windows of a specific application
• Hide all application windows and show the desktop
• Manage application windows across multiple monitors
• Manage application windows across multiple virtual desktops

Usage[edit]

Exposé and Mission Control include three separate features for organizing windows and open applications:

All windows

Shows all open and unhidden windows and desktops shrinking their appearance so they all fit on a single screen. On newer Mac keyboards, this is activated from the F3 key, or F9 on older keyboards. On Apple's Magic Mouse or multi-touch trackpads, this can be activated by pulling up on the trackpad with three or four fingers. Mission Control redesigned this feature extensively to show all running desktops.

Application windows

Also called 'App Exposé'. Shows all open and minimized windows for the currently active application. During this mode, the user can choose a window to switch to by using mouse or keyboard, or cycle through windows of different applications by pressing the tab key. This can be activated by pulling down with three or four fingers on a trackpad, the F10 key on older keyboards, by pressing Control + F3 on newer Apple aluminium and Macbook keyboards, or by right-clicking the app's icon on the dock and selecting 'Show all windows'. On OS X Snow Leopard. App Exposé can be activated by clicking and holding the application's icon in the dock.

Desktop

Moves all windows off the screen, with just the edges of the windows visible at the side of the screen, giving the user clear access to the desktop and any icons on it. This can be activated by pressing CommandF3 on newer Apple aluminum and Macbook keyboards, the F11 key on older keyboards. On a trackpad, it can be selected by placing four fingers on the trackpad and pulling them away from each other.

In the first two cases, after Mission Control is activated, the user can select any window by clicking on it or selecting it with arrow keys and pressing Enter. Exposé then deactivates, leaving the selected window in the foreground. Using Apple Mighty Mouse, it is possible to select a window using the Scroll Ball, by scrolling in the direction of that window.

The keyboard shortcuts used for activating Exposé can be customized to be any of the function keys, the shift, control, option or command key, the fn key on Mac laptops, or even a mouse button on multiple-button mice (including Apple Mighty Mouse).

Different features of Mission Control can also be activated by moving the mouse to a 'hot corner' of the desktop. This system is off by default; it can be enabled from System Preferences.

Changes in Mission Control[edit]

When Exposé first premiered in 2003, it could be controlled using the F9, F10 and F11 keys.

The Exposé shortcut keys were moved to the F3 key to make room for the 'rewind', 'play/pause' and 'fast forward' keys. On Mac keyboards made after 2004, Exposé can be activated by using the F3 key or in combination with the command key, or on the trackpad of Macbooks supporting multi-touch interface. (However, F9, F10 and F11 can still be used for controlling Exposé with the function modifier key, or by enabling the 'Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys' setting.)

On Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Exposé featured a new organized grid view and allowed users to activate Exposé from the Dock.

In Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, some features of Dashboard, Exposé, and Spaces were incorporated into Mission Control. This gave an overview of all running applications just like 'All windows' but grouped windows from the same application, and added a display of Spaces. Desktop view and application window view were retained, the latter under the name of App Exposé, and could be accessed through gestures on multi-touch trackpads.

Some users criticised Mission Control in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion for not offering an unobscured 'Exposé' view of all the windows in single workspace: windows of the same application are always hidden in bundles. This issue was fixed in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, however, with a checkbox in the System Preference pane allowing a user to choose whether to group windows of the same application. Some features of Exposé and Spaces from OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard did not return, however: it does not show the names of the windows displayed, nor does it return the added functionality provided by Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard multiple desktops feature, known as 'Spaces,' which allowed users to drag and drop windows between desktops with a single click, and also allowed for larger thumbnail previews of each desktop in a 2D grid when in use.^[2] Download koplayer for mac os x.

Undocumented features[edit]

The 'blob' is a hidden and undocumented interface to Exposé that was discovered by a member of the MacNN forums.^[3] When clicked, it enables the 'Application Windows' mode. When Option+clicked, it enables the 'All Windows' mode.

Another undocumented feature of Exposé is for the show desktop function. It places all the open windows in a small box on the screen that can be moved to anywhere on the screen.^[4] This function has some bugs, after exiting the show desktop mode, the foremost window will not have a shadow and the user will not be able to move the window. However, this is easily fixed by using the show all function. It also had another bug that causes an area of screen the width of the minimised preview to become unresponsive to mouse clicks requiring the windowserver to be restarted.

Using the Shift key, Mission Control can be activated in slow motion, as can Dashboard and the minimise effect and several other animations. This is the same effect that was demonstrated by Steve Jobs during the unveiling of Exposé during the 2003 Worldwide Developers Conference.^[5][6]

Similar applications[edit]

Similar effects are used on other operating systems.

Microsoft Windows 3.0 first introduced a window switcher in 1990. Using Alt+Tab ↹, users could see a flattened view of all open windows. Every version of Windows since then has also provided this window switching functionality. Vista and Windows 7 provide an additional feature called Windows Flip 3D, which has a broadly similar purpose. Flip 3D allows a user to flip through all open windows with a three-dimensional perspective. A downside to this method is that the front-most window covers a significant portion of the other windows, unlike Exposé. On the other hand, this allows the user to see the contents of the front-most window, while this can be difficult in Exposé, especially if the user has a large number of windows open. Vista's Desktop Window Manager exposes a public API that allows any application to access the same thumbnail representations that Flip3D uses, and so there are a number of third party add-ons that are able to provide Exposé-like functionality in Vista. A very few third party applications, such as the Emcee Desktop Organizer, provide Mission Control-like organization of similar windows into visual 'stacks,' or support Windows 8's 'Immersive' Apps. Windows 10 adds a very similar feature called Task View which also includes multiple-desktop support.

Microsoft's Intellipoint Software for Microsoft Mice has a feature similar to Exposé^[7] as it also works with live images of windows, rather than static representations. Additionally, several freeware Windows applications exist to emulate the functionality of Exposé.

Compiz and KWin are compositing window managers for systems using the X Window System. Both include plugins similar to Exposé - the scale plugin in Compiz and the present windows effect in KWin. Skippy also performs similar functions to Exposé.

Starting with version 3.0, the GNOME desktop environment has gained a new mode called 'Overview', which is used to launch applications and manage workspaces. In this mode, windows are scaled and arranged in an Exposé-like fashion for quick switching.

For Classic or Legacy Macintosh systems, the free Finder Workspaces^[8] offers functionality similar to Spaces.

Chrome OS has a window overview mode^[9] that shows a thumbnail of all open windows, available by pressing the 'window switcher' key or swiping up with 3 fingers on the trackpad. Windows in overview mode can be closed by clicking an associated close button, or selected by clicking on the window thumbnail, which also closes overview mode and brings the selected window to the foreground.

If your friend has a Mac, then you’ve most likely heard bragging about how switching windows with Exposé is the best thing since sliced Safari. Switcher is a really cool free Windows app that takes that feature and implements it beautifully in Windows. (Windows Vista and higher only, though, since it requires Aero.)

Why Exposé?

Exposé is one of the few features that I have consciously wanted on Windows. Everything else, like hot corners and spaces, is second to the cool window switching of OS X. Just hit a button and you can instantly see all your windows:

Image credit: Wikipedia

Exposé lets you quickly switch between all your windows; think of instantly seeing both your client’s email and your Photoshop working space. You have instant access to all your open documents, windows, and files. Alt + Tab simply pales in comparison.

Switcher: the easiest, and best, Exposé replacement for Windows

After installing and starting Switcher, make sure you have more than one window open and press Win + ~ on your keyboard to be greeted with a beautiful, dare I say, rip-off of Apple’s design:

By default Switcher is set to be activated by hit Win+~. (The ~ [tilde] key is located directly below the Escape key on most US keyboards; you may have to hunt for it on international keyboards.) However, you can change this hotkey to any key combination you want and even setup a mouse shortcut to call Switcher.

Once you are in Switcher, pressing Win + ~ again will cycle through the available windows; you may also use the arrow keys to cycle. Once you have selected the window you want, pressing Enter on your keyboard will open that window. You can also use your mouse to select/open windows. Pressing Escape on your keyboard gets you out of Switcher and back to the window you had open.

By default the view is set to Tiled mode, the mode most similar to OS X. However, if you want to change your mode, pressing F2 will get you Docked mode while F3 will get you Grid mode; pressing F1 gets you back to Tiled mode. You can also use Page Up and Page Down keys to cycle through these modes. Here’s what they each look like:

Docked:

Grid:

Tiled:

All three modes look amazing, all three have brilliantly smooth transitions, and each mode shows the same information. However, Tiled mode shows windows sized proportionately to their actual size, Docked mode displays one window at a time in as-full-as-possible size, while Grid mode shows all windows at approximately the same size.

The cool thing is, by default Switcher is set to remember the last mode you used. So if you prefer one mode over another, simply use that mode the first time you use Switcher and the next time you use Switcher, it will open in that particular mode. You also have the ability, through the program settings, to pick which mode is the “default”.

Search: the other way to find your windows

If you’ve used Firefox 4 (it is still in beta), you know how easy it is to switch between tabs by searching them: Ctrl+D, type, enter. The same thing is possible in Switcher. As soon as you are in Switcher, simply start typing, and Switcher will filter your windows based on the query you have typed. (Switcher compares your search query with windows’ title bar content.) In the following example I queried “search” and Switcher showed me all four search windows that I had open:

Searching for windows is icing on top of the cake called Switcher.

But what about customization?

Os X Expose For Windows 7 Free

Switcher is fully customizable, too. From the first page, you can change the default view, the dock location, and other things like autostart:

In the other panes are various appearance related options; there are too many options to list. Have a look through and see what you like:

As you can see – from changing the hotkeys/shortcuts that activate Switcher, to controlling what is the default mode, to changing how Switcher animates, and everything in between – there are numerous settings of every kind to customize here. Switcher is a customizer’s dream, even including a powerful Advanced pane that lets you customize virtually everything.

Will it slow down my computer?

Switcher will not – should not – slow down your computer. It uses only 7-8 MB of RAM and little to no CPU while it is idle sitting in your system tray. It, of course, uses CPU when you are using the program to switch between windows but even when using Switcher I noticed CPU usage is very minimal, typically less than 5%.

Plus, Switcher is a very small download (less than 400 KB) and has a portable version.

Conclusion

If your aim is to wow, then Switcher is your program. It meets the level of visual polish of the OS X app; and tops the OS X app in customization. Switcher is a powerful, awesome copy of Exposé. You can download it from the following links:
