I used e16 for about 5 minutes before being so amazed that I just had to upgrade to e17
already so I'm not sure what exactly I'm talking about, but ... e16 has a task manager
or something in the bottom left corner that displays the windows and also window contents
... how are those window contents drawn? and couldn't the same mechanism be used for this
"expose"? I've used e17 for about a day now and I haven't had a chance to look
into all the intricate details of the underlying source code yet but from a pure user
perspective it seems to me that the code to do this has already been written and
implemented in e16. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Because if the content of a window is fully themable, there
also should
be the possibility to adjust the size of all elements inside
the window,
at least i understand it this way... (?)
Rasterman (or someone else with the needed knowledge), plz show
us the
right way to go :)
I'm really not sure about this but I imagine that it would be
possible to "imitate" Exposé completely if ALL software is
based in EFL, however that is not the case so probably, we're
not able to control the content of a window if its app was
developed in for example, gtk+. So perhaps, if we could
possibly know if we have a software written with EFL we could
optimize the software to work with its window and if it is not
written with EFL, we would just take the snapshot...
Probably I'm completely on the wrong track but that's just my
two cents...

PS. Anyone else has probs reaching www.enlightenment.org? It's

slow and often aborts connection ...? (could be on my side too,
my isp
changed some things shortly)

PS. Just read the message from Christian Engels and i think,
that this
should be no
problem.
As an Idea: The windows don't need to be refreshed while
showing them in
epose (would be nice, but is not needed for the
functionality)
, so it
would(?) be enough,
to just take a screenshot of the window, resize and display
it.
no need
for e to change
font-sizes or take care of the layout 'inside' the window.
perhaps i missed something in expose (never used it), but i
guess that
should be
working, or? Plz correct me if i'm wrong..
At least for a first-version features I agree with Christian.

So, I really have no clue at all about the e17 internals,
but
I do have some
programming experience and would be willing to participate
in
an effort to
create something like Exposé for e17. But I think, somebody
with a more
profound insight into the libraries would be needed to lead
such a project,
therefore I'd like to post this official
Call for Participation
======================
In order to implement a functionality similar to Max OSX'
Exposé
(http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/expose/), we are
looking
for people
willing to contribute in any helpful way. In particular, the
following
positions are open ;-)
- One or more project leader(s)
Deeper knowledge of the e-libs would be a requirement, also
the general
management and organization of the project would be part of
the task.
- Worker bees
People willing to contribute to the code, all different
levels of
experience welcome.
- Testers
Even if you don't feel ready to do some coding you may be a
valuable help
if you can take some time every once in a while to do code
testing and write
high quality feedback reports.
It's not clear if this will eventually lead to a real
(sub-)project, that
depends vastly on the reactions to this call. Therefore,
please spread this
call around, but don't forget to point out that the primary
coordination
point - until an own infrastructure has been set up - is the
"enlightenment
user mailing list":
