Hey! i'm wondering if anyone knows of any third party apps that will let me edit Expos?windows.
Alot of times, i would love to view all the windows, but then have them "stick" that way and allow me to either browse, edit, etc....
Thanks for any help!

If you search through these forums, you will see quite a few people asking about this... Expose is only meant to display those windows in a nice and clear manner. Nothing was included in its programming to have it do otherwise...

i wrote a little applescript that does this. it is a bit of a novelty...but, i actually do have a use for it.
paste the code into script editor and save as an application. follow the onscreen instructions if you can't parse the applescript.
bear in mind what raven said....expos?was never meant to function like this. so, it's a little wonky at times.....the windows bounding boxes appear to retain their original specs, even tho you see a much smaller window. that applies to clicks, often as well. but, like i said i do have a use for this, and it works for me ;)
p.s. still running 10.3
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "'Shrinker' will let you resize application windows via Expos?" buttons {"OK"} default button "OK"
display dialog "The dock process will now be killed. You have 5 seconds to activate Expos? All 'Exposed' windows will remain that size when the dock process returns." buttons {"Kill the Dock in 5 Seconds", "Cancel"} default button "Kill the Dock in 5 Seconds"
do shell script "sleep 5 && killall Dock"
end tell
