Can't be done. I liked it that way too, but apparently Apple decided it was too scary to new users to have all their stuff disappear completely with no indication of where it might be. Also, in the future you'll be more likely to get coherent replies if you take the time to make your post semi-coherent.
 
I understood exactly what he meant, I just didn't know the answer. I'm sure everyone else who read the thread feels the same way. I realize I am being hypocritical here, but why you would take the time to criticize his/her grammatical style rather than provide a helpful answer is beyond me.

Original poster: keep your eye on VersionTracker.com. I didn't see anything, but you might find something there.

I don't know if this is relevant, but if you're just interested in shaking things up in expose I remember reading about a simple one line mod that brought up a blue orb, that when clicked, made expose work. There was also the beginnings of a "multiple desktops" feature used to compress your desktop into a small box on the desktop.

I don't remember where I saw it. 😕

When I do the expose to desktop the Windows users wonder where all of the windows go. Even though there is a slight window showing there but they don't see the windows around the side.

When you have to keep rereading parts of the original post because of terrible spelling, I'm going to say it's not out of line to criticize. It's certainly not the worst post I've seen, but if you're going to ask for help from strangers, I don't think it's too much to ask to at least look at what you're posting...

I have to agree here - although the extremity of the earlier response is a bit much. Let's keep things civil please.
 
The orb is on VersionTracker.com. Just search for "Expose" and the last result (of six, if I remember correctly) is the one you want.
