Hi, I have seen a plugin for compiz (Or a setting) but i cant for the life of me remember what it was called. I have tried google'ing for the last hour. Very hard when you can only describe it.

This can be done natively on Mac, I would like when i move my mouse into the corner, (or press a combo of keys) for all the windows to lay out neatly (Smaller then normal) so that i may select the one i would like to be working with. (think tiled might be the word)

I currently have the standard at+tab with window preview but i have to scroll through a few before i get the one that i would like to work with.

Does any one know the name/website where I can download/install it. I hope I will be able to install it once i know what to download :)

thanks

I am Dyslexic so please dont comment on my spelling.
I am also Dyslexic, :P

Ye, was going to try the compiz forums, but then i would properbly have to check back for compatibility, I know that I have seen it on Screen casts/youtube vids,

Just can't figure out what the plug in is called. I no one knows...... Well not much I cant do about it them :P

Thanks for the help

You are looking for the plugin called "Scale." I agreed it is horribly titled, and I myself have had trouble finding it to activate, just because the name doesn't at all describe what it does. It's available by default in the Advanced Desktop Effects Settings panel.

The signature explains why you would know this one :).

It is one of the NICEST things that mac has to offer, (They also have the most amazing screen shot engine).

Going to give it a try will let you know what what happens
