Haha. I feel your pain, but if I got a nickel for every time I’ve seen fellow Mac users tell switchers to put up or shut up… Turns out Windows users aren’t the only people who experience learning curves . The new _type the name of the window you want to select_ feature is awesome and beats the pants off of _select by window size_, with its mystery meat name popups.

This is just another argument for the ability to tailor the OS to the user, and not the other way around. Sorting and sizing options would be pretty damn simple to add to the prefs. You should be able to have it your way, and I much prefer the new expose. If they switched it back with no prefs, your gain would be my woeful loss.

Whatever. We should all go Ubuntu anyway.

I completely agree. I used the size and shape of windows almost exclusively to choose the window i wanted out of expose. I feel like a beginner programmer designed this new expose. I feel bad that this small change has ruined my view of snow leopard. I love mac. They made an awesome expose feature. now they broke it. sigh.

I’ve almost stopped using Exposé since Snow Leopard and I HATE it. I used to use it all the time, I had assigned the middle click on my mighty mouse (and now Targus mouse) to open Exposé. Its current incarnation is completely unusable. I got rid of the blue glow at least.
Exposé worked, why did they change it? Grr….
I dropped Apple feedback but I doubt they’ll listen.

Using the new mac trackpad was enjoyable because of the way it used to arrang windows in OSX 10.5. Apple send an update for us to be able to customize the layout of the expose to the old style or the new one.

I ended up modifying my Expose, to use a gray glow rather than the standard blue. The hack wasn’t too bad, and it is much less annoying.

I did hear rumors that Expose was changed to facilitate the touch tablet (rumor in itself).

Now my more recent Snow Leopard complaint is with iChat and how horrible the video is pixelated since upgrading.

One battle at a time.

That’s funny, I wrote the same thing about Expose and stumbled on your blog from a Google search. I’m hoping more people write/argue this new change and it gets into Apple’s ear to at least give us an option. I’m struggling working with this thing.

By the way, there’s a fix to the blue glow issue if you haven’t found that already, but it doesn’t really bother me much.

Totally agree. Exposé is much harder to use now. Sent in feedback, thanks for the link.
