Hey everyone,
I've recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, I'm a Fedora user but recently thought I'd give this a run. I finally managed to sort out the ATI drivers and get compiz working. I have a question though...

In Fedora, when I moved my mouse arrow to the top right-hand corner of the screen, all of my open windows would appear on the screen and i could click on them to select them (similar to the feature in Mac OS X). Does anyone know how to enable this? In Fedora it was obviously already setup to do this so I never looked up about it. Surely this isn't just for Fedora?

I've found the Expo plugin which allows me to do a similar thing, but it only shows me all of my workspaces on the screen, not one workspace with all my windows showing.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Thanks in advance,

kj

Have you installed compizconfig-settings-manager ?

Load it up and click on the Scale plugin icon from the Window Management section, .

Press the button to the right of "Initiate Window Picker" this will give you a window which you can use to select the area of the screen you want to initiate the plugin from.

Press OK, then Back, then Close.
