Exposé is a handy feature of Mac OS X that puts all shows you preview images of open windows and helps you to quickly locate an open window. For long, Apple has touted Expose. Windows Vista has a similar feature, but if you’re unimpressed by it, DExpose is for you.
DExpose brings the Expose functionality into Windows. In short, it lays out all the windows in smaller previews, with a slightly blurred and darker background. The screenshot below, should give you an idea. It is a preview which does no justice to DExpose, click the image for a larger version:
To get Expose-like features, download Dexpose and install it.
After installation, double-click the small tray icon to some required settings properly. In the Global pane, check “Autostart at booting”.
Then, click the Activation option on the left and tick the checkbox that says “Define mouse hotspots to activate DExpose”. Then, click “Choose Hotspots” and set up the hotspots as you wish. You can see the settings I used, above.
