Expose - Maximise onto a Clean Desktop

By Adrian Mayo - Editor - OSXFAQ

Open a document onto a clean desktop, with other windows still under Expose.

You must minimise the window first, then hit F11. Click the minimised window in the Dock, and it will maximise onto an empty desktop with all other applications and windows still hidden by Expose.

You can also launch an application onto a clean desktop, by applying a few cunning Expose tricks. First, select any application that has no windows open, then hit F11, F10, and launch an application from the Dock. The application will launch with all other applications still hidden by Expose. May or may not be useful, but a neat trick non-the-less.

Another useless trick - hold down the shift key with F9/F10/F11 and you will get the Genie slo-mo effect in Expose.

Hold the tab key down for 5 seconds after pressing F9/F10 for a roller-coaster ride.

Enjoy !! :-)
