Expocity - efficient application switching

expocity is an effort to integrate an efficient means of switching between applications into the window manager metacity. After pressing a keystroke, your window manager will present you a complete overview of all open windows and you can select the window, you want to switch to, visually.
You no longer have to search a too full taskbar or the tablist for the right window. Just point at it.

Everybody is talking about such a feature and that it would require the new freedesktop.org X-Server... well, expocity is an extension for metacity enabling this on a standard X-Server!

More info and a screenshot can be found
here.

If you want to try it out yourself, get the patch from
here and apply it to the current CVS version of metacity.

Have fun! .... Martin Grimme
