Gala - Expose has landed

The feature that everyone has been waiting for has landed - Expose in the latest update from elementary daily ppa

From this update, Expose is available in 2 modes, grid or natural

For grid, it arranges your windows in predetermined grid values which is consistent while natural arranges your windows much less consistent

You can set the expose on which corner to be activated from your Switchboard's Desktop Plug

You can install this plug from elementary daily ppa by

sudo apt-get install switchboard-plug-pantheon-shell

To choose from the two modes, you need dconf-editor which can be installed by

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

And navigate to org.pantheon.desktop.gala.behavior and change window overview type from the drop down menu

Incase you found any bugs, please do not hesitate to report them at Gala launchpad

Happy testing !

Expose - When will it land ?

There has been questions about when will Expose being featured in the Gala Window Manager

As we all know, Expose shows all the window which activated with either gesture or key bindings

As we all know previously, Compiz is capable of providing Expose but it was soon being replaced by Gala

Expose in Gala will be implemented by Luna +1 due to some problems/bugs which developers need to solve

As soon as we speak, developers had created a branch called gala-expose which is meant for testing out the Expose feature and it is meant for Luna+1
