Today in part ten of our ten parts series and switching from the PC to the MAC we’re going to look at Expose and Spaces. Now there really is no analog in windows for either Expose or Spaces, unless you use some kinds of third party software. Now, both Expose and Spaces can be configured in system preferences. But first I’m going to give you a quick pick and what they are. Now, Expose on newer MAC is titled by F3 and on some older MAC you can use function F11. We tackle at you see here it’s spread out all of the windows that are on my desktop and it will also shows me what they are. This is the XP Virtual Machine, this is the document here is system preferences. Then I can click on the one I want and it moves to the front, a space which is available down here are virtual desktops. And you can have up to 26 virtual desktops in your spaces. You can move things around do different virtual desktops or spaces and then you can kick the one that you want to go to. Now, to the configuration let’s look at Expose first. In Expose you can set active corners so; you can see here I offset the upper right hand corner of my screen to turn on my screen saver. I set the lower left hand corner of my screen to activate dashboard and there are other options available as well. Down here you can also set all of the different hot keys so that they are what you want them to be. And down here you can also change the hot keys and mouse keys that activate dashboard. Now, in spaces you can add or remove spaces so say I want to remove a row, it takes and shows me the new shape. Here I have Firefox and I have Firefox sets to let it open in every space so that if I’m working in space one when I’m moves the space six Firefox is still there. What iTunes however, I have iTunes set so it will always open in space two. VMware Fusion I have set for space two and by clicking here I can tell it to always open in space there. Down here you can change the keys that are use to activate spaces. Spaces could be activated with function F8. And there are other keys that you can also configure, so Expose and Spaces are really handy functions that help you to work smarter on your MAC and that concludes part ten of our ten parts series.
