[REQ} Snow Leopard Expose glow
Has anyone made any progress on finding a way to change the ugly glow color in the new expose?

Re: [REQ} Snow Leopard Expose glow
Yep, got to:
System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app
(right click: show package contents)
then Contents/Resources
The images are: expose-window-selection-big.png for normal windows and: expose-window-selection-small.png for minimized windows.
Having the image the same size and making the visible part smaller reduces the size of the highlight and the other way around.
Anyone got a good idea on what to change it to?

I changed it to gray to match the overall look of the icons on my system (still awaiting iLeopard for SL)

Re: [REQ} Snow Leopard Expose glow
I think, imho, that the best is a mod that just add a blur effect with no color. Don't know if i've explained my self well ![]()

Maybe making a clear png, or at least a near-transparent white would do what you want. I'd try it myself but i dont have an actual mac around right now and i dont feel like installing SL on my hac quite yet.

Yeah maybe your view is much more perfect than mine. I'm not a designer or something like that, so just have ideas and nothing more ![]()

That isn't possible, you can't embed blur into an image (although that would be awesome)
I made mine black, looks like a shadow ![]()

It would, but it would be very hard to see. Even my black color is hard to see as the screen dims.

So the blur effect in the new stack is impossible to reply?

I tried replacing the glow by making it black, but it's still blue. I even deleted the blue glows. What's going on?

Yeah, this needs to be modded. I wanted some borders that match the rest of Snow Leo's Exposé border stuff, like the context menus ~~ so I came up with this. ^^

You need to restart your dock.app
either open terminal and type: killall Dock (then press enter)
or log out and then login.
