Exposé and Dashboard

The Exposé and Dashboard tab in the Parameters panel allow you to set the parameters of some Exposé and Dashboard hidden functions.

Exposé:

Show Active Screen Corners: If commands have been set for the active screen corners, this option will make the screen corners visible.

Show Exposé Blob: This option enables a bubble (called a "Blob"). Clicking on this bubble highlights the windows of the frontmost application and dims the others. Holding down the Option key while clicking will shrink all of the windows to fit on the screen.

Minimize Desktop: By default, the F11 key moves all open windows to the edges of the screen. The Minimize Desktop option reduces all the windows on the screen to small boxes. To view the effect in slow motion, hold down the Shift key while minimizing. This function may make areas of the screen inactive and insensitive to mouse clicks. Disable it if you are experiencing problems.

Dashboard:

Enable Dashboard and its widgets: If you enable this option, clicking on the Dashboard icon in the Dock display widgets.

Enable the Developer Mode of Dashboard: This option allows you to place and use the widgets of the Dashboard on the Desktop of your Mac. Select this option and click the Apply button (the Dock will be reloaded). Then, in the Apple menu, select "System Preferences...", click the Dashboard and Exposé icon and set the Dashboard's Keyboard Shortcut.

- To place a widget on the Desktop, click the Dashboard icon in the Dock or press the Keyboard Shortcut you previously set to display Dashboard. Click the desired widget and hold the mouse-button (as if you wanted to remove it) then press the Keyboard Shortcut to hide Dashboard. The widget will remain on the Desktop and can be used as any other application. You can place as many widgets as you want on the Desktop of your Mac.

- To remove a widget from the Desktop, click and hold the mouse button then press the Keyboard Shortcut to display Dashboard. Then release the mouse button and press the Keyboard Shortcut to hide the Dashboard.

Click on Restore Defaults to cancel all modifications caused by OnyX or by another application. After execution, the parameters will be reset and the display will be the same as when the System and the applications were first installed.
