    Disable Expose for output fullscreen

    by Anome » Sun Sep 09, 2007 2:10 am

    Hi,

    Sometimes, I like to use Expose to figure out where is the window I m looking for (probably a modul), but it affects the output fullscreen as well (everybody can see my wallpaper !).
    How to disable Expose only for the output fullscreen ?
    Cheers.

    I don't think you can... for what it is worth: strangely while preparing for my upcoming show, expose started working without my pressing the sidebuttons on my mouse (my trigger for expose) and whoosh, the full screen would disappear while twiddling a knob or something in M8. I finally disabled expose altogether (sys prefs) - now all is well. I have only had this problem, if it is one, in the past couple of months, not before. OSX 10.4.9 MBP 2.33

    Just put a crazy image on your desktop. When expose kicks in it will look like a part of the show.

    deactivate the sensitive corners and use only the F keys! it's more secure!

    why is it impossible to have an other background? I always have a black background for my output screen, it's always cleaner if md8 crashes or something else!

    I already have a black background and i dont user corners for expose.

    It just seems impossible to use (several times) expose, without breaking everything on the screen : that's sad !
