While working in Mac OS X I got used to Expose feature for rapid window switching. I love it a lot, except for one thing: it simply cannot help if you use tabbed applications. OK, you may switch to the app window and then click a tab you need, but why not saving clicks while being able to review all tabs’ content during switching? Shiira tries to solve the problem by implementing a kind of Expose for its own windows which partly solves the problem.
My suggestion is wider: why not change the Expose itself?
(I know, Apple would doubtly ever do this, but we have Expose-like features in Linux Fusion)
As you may see on the picture, in Expose mode each tabbed app is represented by a tab grid, so you may switch to a certain tab (not just the app!) in a single click. When the numberof tabs is not too large, this feature should work without any problems.
This way we eliminate confusion when user cannot see a page he knows has just been opened in Expose mode just because it hides by the main application’s window.
