DExposE2 Hompage : [link]Hi!! So yeah this is the final version of DExposE2, so to speak, becoz there WILL be updates but the features,
options, structure etc wont change. Updates will only be minor ones after this release.
Whats DExposE2 ??, I hate being repetitive. Just google DExposE2.
|| New Features ||
------------------
# Cycle thru previews while in Exposed mode with pgdn, pgup keys. ( just like on Macs )
# Task switcher menu available through the context menu of the tray icon.
During all these months I have been recieving feedback ( literally speaking, I am BURIED under huge amount of
emails still ). And what I enumerated as the weak points of DExposE2 and what are the changes affected in
this version are as follows
----------------------------
* DExposE2 uses lot of RAM *
Answer: Ya, becoz it caches the previews in the RAM.
Solution: In this version I have provided a "Refresh" option which comes up when u right click on Systray icon
of DExposE2. This option immediately removes all those cached previews and brings down the memory usage to less than 10MB.
Also in the preferences, in the "previews Quality" section, there is an option which allows DExposE2 to use the video
memory instead.
--------------------------------------
* DExposE2 crashes with lots of apps *
Answer: Tell that to MS.
Solution: A menu Task switcher available from the tray icon's context menu. Directly jump to the app u need to
instead of exposing all of them. However it wont work if there are some minimized windows. In that case a normal
expose is done. What u must understand here is people working on a Mac dont have a taskbar like we do. This app
being an exact clone of Expose ( atleast the expose that I have on my hackintosh ) does as much.
-----------------------------------------
* DExposE2 doesnt work on Multimonitors *
Answer: That was a problem with a DirectX9 dll.
Solution: I had to disassemble the DirectX9 dll and its counterpart from DX10 and hexedit like mad. Took me
2.5 months to solve. But this time I am 110% sure it will work on Multimon.
----------------------------------------------
* Cant exclude some apps from the "exposing" *
Answer: The exclusion list was an internal list.
Solution: Now there is a "Exclusion List" section in the preferences window. Just add the names of the
exe files like Photoshop.exe, firefox.exe etc. And that is it.
------------------------
* Hotcorners dont work *
Answer: I forgot to add the bit about loading the monitoring dll.
Solution: Well, in the standalone version it still DOESNT work. But in the "zip" version which I will release shortly
it will be working fine. I am trying my best to figure it out to work in this kind of a standalone exe itself.
-----------------------
* DExposE2 looks ugly *
Answer: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Om Shanti! But I seriously suggest u atleast try this once.
Believe me u wont feel this is trash.
And yes it will work on Windows7. Coz this exe is "virtualized" (read, thinapp-ed).
Oh and I think some people on this forum already know this but still if anybody asks
that why an update after so many days - the answer is DExposE2 was among the "Best of 2008" at Lifehacker
recently. It was at the tenth position from the top. So yeah, I felt that there maybe lots of people out there
waiting for an update.

this is so weird! i've been trying to install this one but my laptop doesn't seem to want to run the installer.. then i downloaded the portable version from winmatrix.com, and i still can't install it. then, i clicked on the registry whatever thinking it would be able to install when i put the registry in but i still couldn't. feeling hopeless, i decided to delete the installer folder i downloaded but now i can't seem to delete it at all. what's wrong??? can you help me with this?

download the zip file from the link given below:
[link]
then extract it to a folder. Now run the file called DExposE2.exe with administrator priviledges ( just right-click on the file and select "Run as administrator" )
If problem persists then tell me which os and whether any antivirus software is blocking it or what ??
BTW, some nice photos in ur gallery there

i think i figured it out already. it says there with the link (not this one you gave me) is for vista, but i'm using xp so maybe that's why it doesn't work. hehe but i'll still try to click this link you gave me.
and thanks for compliment!

I have downloaded this app (regular version not standalone)
after having installed, SuperAntiSpyware reports d3dx9_29.dll (inside DEXPOSE folder) is Adware.Vundo/Variant-MsFake
can you please check?

devrexster In reply to riccardo399 [2009-02-27 11:32:16 +0000 UTC]
Thats a false positive
the dll is packed using upx exe compressor to bring its size down ... unfortunately, many viruses/spyware/adware use this exe compressor too
Its absolutely safe.

Great! great! great! absolutely great I think Mac users should switch because DExposE2 is better than Expose!
Could you tell me what the silent switch is for your installer?
And why isn't video memory instead of RAM used by default?

nutweevil In reply to nutweevil [2009-01-08 14:06:55 +0000 UTC]
another thing, and i guess it shouldn't happen in your pc: i cant turn off the "preview titles".
Last question: can't winamp windows be identified as winamp only? cause if u have many winamp windows open (main window, playlist, library, equalizer) dexpose2 will have all of them exposed

devrexster In reply to nutweevil [2009-01-08 18:31:29 +0000 UTC]
Thanks for the fav. Ginto ur registry by opening regedit.exe and move to this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DExposE2\DExposE2\Activation.Mac
Change it to "False"
About Winamp ... mmm ... no it cant be done. But u can add Winamp.exe to the exclusion list.
Preview titles - thats a bug - infact some of the settings dont work - I am seeing into the issue. There will be an update when I find some time...

hmm, btw sorry to ask: why DExposeE2 is final? Will there be DExposeE3!? (sorry it's just my curiosity - I've personally got stuck with 0.0 versions idea, beside recently comming to conclusion that 0.0.0 would be better for me))
Cheers,
Sami

devrexster In reply to samiwieciekto [2009-01-03 09:42:31 +0000 UTC]
No actually there wont be any DExposE3...
I had some plans ... like a transparent floor on which windows get arranged in a circular queue type of thing and the camera is from a bit of a top angle...but that idea will be very difficult to do on XP Besides that, DExposE2 in its current form has been very popular ... so I intend to retain it like that.
0.0 - version numbers give the feeling that this app is under development. So people complain less Ya u shud use that becoz that will keep people from saying "bad things"...I have been thru all this so I know.
About ur app - its something that Winmatrix is pushing, so its only a matter of time before some BIG blogger posts about it and seeing that everyone else does too ... this is when all the attention starts and u have emails pouring in etc.... and if it gets on Lifehacker then be ready for a blast This is why I have been suggesting to u to quickly "stabilise" all the window-effects before the BIG BANG happens
Regards,
Dev

Looks great and I'll be trying it out as we speak.
NOTE: I'm working as fast as I can here.
I've had a few things to do here and there, bit of complications really.
