Right-clicking the dock icon will give you a list of the opened windows, the same as what happens with application/dock expose only faster (disadvantage: it only shows the title of the window not its contents). You simply click and hold on the apps dock icon and it will show you the windows. This is where dock expose comes in handy. Application expose only shows the windows in the current active application so if you want to see the windows of a different app you need to switch to it and press a key. Expose can be used to view only the windows from a single app, multiple apps or all windows. I think what you mean are the windows that aren't minimised.

No need to click as it is the one that's visible. There is only 1 active window: the one you are currently working in. So if I have Apple Mail Open, and have 3 compose new mail windows going, I would like to see 4 icons or labels somewhere in the menubar or near the dock. I know this is a difference in Mac and Windows, and that I can use the dock to see my active applications, and use the various shortcuts to see my windows, but there's got to be an app that will just always shows my active windows. Again, similar to Windows taskbar before Windows 7. However, they all fall short because they only place one icon in the menubar, which must be clicked on to show active apps or active windows.Ĭan someone please point me to an app that will always be on my screen, and will show icons or labels of active windows. This is fine, and is very similar to the windows start button. Pin active applications to menubar in macĪll of these apps more or less place one icon in the menubar, which when clicked on shows your running apps, favorite apps, and system folders. 10 firefox windows minimized would just show 10 firefox icons. This offered a partial solution as the icons could not be distinguished for the same program. Going to System Preferences, and unchecking 'Minimize windows into application icon' in the Dock settings. Yes, I know that is what Expose is for, but I prefer to see me active windows without using a shortcut. So if I have 10 different windows running for Firefox, I can quickly look at my menubar or somewhere near the dock, and just click the window I want to see. I'm basically looking for an Expose alternative.

Not Windows 7 as that shows the active programs, but not specific windows.

#DRAGTHING ALTERNATIVES FOR MAC OS#

Can somebody please recommend an app for MAC OS that will display my active windows? The app can run in the menubar or dock, or mount next to the doc.īasically, something like the taskbar from Windows XP and Vista.
