Expose

If you are like most computer users, you keep multiple windows open. It can be a major pain trying to find the one window that you need since all the windows are layered on top of each other. That is where Expose comes in.

Expose is new to Mac OS 10.3 and solves the problem of screen clutter by making it easy to see all of your open windows at once, all open windows in a specific application, or even just the desktop.

To configure Expose

There are two different ways to access the different options. The first is through Active Screen Corners. "To designate a corner to perform a specific Expose function, select it from the drop down menu by the corner.

 

You may also access options through specific key commands. To set a specific function, simply select it from the drop down menu. You can see more options when the Shift, CTRL, or Command keys are pressed.
