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.
