Personally, I don't think Apple should provide the API you are
requesting, and I hope a "hack or something to provide this 'feature' "
can't be found. I would bet there would be quite a few developers that
would feel that their app is special and their windows shouldn't be
affected. Suddenly, Exposi isn't very useful anymore because only half
the windows move out of the way when I press F11 and I still can't see
my desktop. I press F9, but some of the windows didn't shrink, so I
can't see them all, so this feature is useless. Exposi is a system
level function. It shouldn't be affected by an application.
I really don't see why it's a problem for your "preference pane to
display log files or pictures on the desktop" to be affected by Exposi.
I mean, Exposi is a temporary state, it's not intended to be used
continuously.
Respectfully,
Glen Simmons

Hi list
Panther is there for three months now, and developer are still
waiting for a way to disable Exposi for some windows...
This does not seem to be difficult to provide a window property to
handle this. Am i wrong ?
I'm the developer of GeekTool (http://projects.tynsoe.org/geektool/),
a preference pane to display log files or pictures on the desktop, and
many people write to me asking to not hide GeekTool when Exposi is
activated. All I can do is answer that, for obscure reasons, Apple
does not want this to be publicly available, so I'm waiting for a hack
or something to provide this "feature". Same thing for NSMenuExtras
not available to mortal developers, we have to use things like
MenuCracker...
So if somebody have informations about this, please inform us !
