Hi Mike, Thank you for your question and suggestion.

Does it only show the selected window? Unfortunately, the current prototype just shows the thumbnails of the all Chromium windows. I realize many users like to see only the thumbnails of the selected window and would like to implement it. Nevertheless, to show only the thumbnails of the selected window, we probably need to handle more events than the ones handled by the current prototype (such as detaching a tab, attaching a tab, creating a popup window, creating a dialog, etc.) and choose the window to which a tab (a pop-up window, or a dialog) belongs. Unfortunately, my current prototype is still an infant phase and it is not good time to implement such complicated logics. > As an alternate suggestion, we have a mode in Camino2 called > "tabspose" which is like OS X Expose, but shows the (large) thumbnails > of all open tabs overlaying the content area of the browser.

Thank you for your link. I'm going to look into it. :) Regards, Hironori Bono E-mail: [email protected] > > 2009/10/23 Brett Wilson <[email protected]>: >> >> 2009/10/23 Hironori Bono (坊野 博典) <[email protected]>: >>> Hi Brett, >>> >>> Thank you so much for noticing this.
