OS X :: Revert To Leopard Expose?
Sep 2, 2009
There was another post that brushed on this so I wanted to start one just for this topic. It seems alot of people on here (me included) think that Snow Leopard has effectively ruined the functionality of expose with the new way it arranges windows. I barely use it now since it is much harder to find what I am looking for. For instance, my "downloads" menu from safari is now larger than some of the safari windows themselves! The question: Is there anyway, hacks or otherwise, to revert to the old style of expose?

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new Expos� in Snow Leopard? The ability to restrict it to certain apps and expand windows individually is great, but the windows are laid out much less efficiently over the screen. It's neater looking, I suppose, but the window contents are harder to see at a glance.
Does anyone know of a way to revert to old Expos� behavior?

I was messing around with a lot of different themes in Snow Leopard. I used different ones and I don't think I properly did them right. For instance, I have the menu bar set to one, and then I have the "Close, Minimize, and Expand" buttons set to something different. To get to my question, how do I revert the theme back to the original Snow Leopard theme. I have tried the option in Themepark, but some of the themes still stayed.

If I have a TimeMachine backup can I use that to revert back to Leopard if SL is not what I expected it to be or if I run into any problem?

I've tried searching to no avail. When I use Finder, it's in List View.
I vastly preferred the Leopard version of selection in that only the filename was used to select a row.
If you clicked anywhere else it would not select the row and you could easily right-click to add new folders etc.
Snow Leopard did away with this functionality and changed it to a full row select.
Is there any way to go back to the Leopard way of doing things?

I've been trying to install the 10.5 version of Expose into 10.6 but I don't know enough about OSX to know how to make it work. I've tried installing the package from the 10.5 instal disks using Pacifist but I still the the 10.6 Expose behavior.
If people can get the 10.5, Base 2 Finder working in Snow Leopard it should be possible to get Expose working also.

This mainly seems to be a display bug and has been happening since the upgrade to Snow Leopard on my 2008 white macbook.
It happens about 70% of the time I switch windows with expose.
Is anyone experiencing similar problems? I'm not having any of the other display issues such as in the other threads with the weird shadows or boxes or anything.

User here with a MacBook Air, Snow Leopard, Rev B SSD:
Questions -
1. For everyone running SL, do you prefer Office 2004 or Office 2008?
2. I heard a rumor that SL fixed the problems between Office 2008 and Expose - is that true?

Prior to Snow Leopard, you could use swipe up to see the desktop and then swipe down to come back to your previous window. Now you must swipe up again to go back to your original window. The up/down movement is ruined in Snow Leopard...

I haven't updated to 10.5.7 yet, but after reading bad things about the update I would just like to know if I could go back to 10.5.6 if I did. I have a Time Machine backup if that helps.

This may seem prehistoric to some but I have sound recording software Digital Performer 2.2 that I don't want to replace. In the process of adding a PCI SCSI card I updated to OS 8.6 (ultimately unnecessary) and DP no longer runs any longer than about 7 measures. I believe it has to do with the Sound Manager that I understand is built into System 8. I have saved both OS 8.6 and 8.5.1 System Folders but cannot get the PPC 8600 to bless anything but 8.6.
Info:
PowerMac, Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

I am wanting to revert back to Tiger from Leopard. What is the best way to accomplish this safely? I use iCal extensively and Apple really messed with it. The added features in Leopard do not add enough real functionality to make me willing to lose solid features.

My brother tried to install Windows XP Pro on our MacBook. Under normal circumstances this would be a walk in the park. The problem is, we are in Costa Rica, on vacation, right now and he thought we had a copy of Windows, but we don't! So now the MacBook boot up to a DOS screen saying, "No bootable devise -- insert boot disk and press any key." And of course I don't have a bootable devise. Is there anyway to revert back to windows? I have tried holding down the escape key which then gives me the same message about the bootable devise, over and over.

i've decided that I absolutely hate everything about the QuickTime X plugin that comes in Snow Leopard. It seems to only show up when playing certain types of media (MP3, H.264), but I'd like to know if there's a way to use the old plugin for everything.
There are no words for how much I hate this thing. The back 30 seconds button looks stupid and is largely useless, the bar looks really fat and the play button is huge. More importantly, I can't change playback speed, and the "Save As..." feature is gone. I paid for the Pro version of this plugin and now Apple has rendered it useless for everything but straightforward playback on a good deal of the files I encounter daily.
Does anyone know of some way to force everything to open with the old plugin? I've thought of switching /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.plugin with the old one from Leopard, but I don't have it anymore and I'm not even convinced that this would work.

I had previously set my autoimporter option to delete after import on my iPhone 3GS. I've reconnected an changed it to not delete, yet it still does. I changed it to do nothing and it does nothing, but when I go back to autoimport, with or without the delete after import box checked, it still does it!

Whenever I restart my system my sidebar icons revert to a generic white icon. Not all of them do it, and its not always the same ones. They flip flop for no reason. One time my picture icon will be generic, the next time I restart my picture icon is fine but my music icon is generic.
Anyone know why this happens? It never happened on my previous machines running the same version of OSX. 10.6.4
I used candybar to replace icons and its never been a problem in the past. I've even manually replaced the icons in finder and it still happens.
The icons in question are on my second drive, not my boot drive. Does that have something to do with it? Sometimes if I just click on the generic icon the correct icon will show up, sometimes it wont.

iJust deleted a couple object in IDCS2 and hit command-S instead of command-Z. These objects had lots of attributes applied to them and this will take me forever to get this thing back to the way it originally was. Is this possible to recover?
