Dashboard & Exposé (System Preferences)

The Dashboard & Exposé pane of System Preferences was developed by Apple Computer to enable users to configure Dashboard and Exposé on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or later.

Active Screen Corners
Both Dashboard and Exposé can be configured so that moving the mouse into a "hot corner" of the screen will trigger them. (It can also work with modifier keys, which will activate the corresponding function only when the mouse approaches the "hot corner" and the corresponding modifier key(s).

Options include: All Windows, Application Windows and Desktop for Exposé, and Dashboard to activate Dashboard. Additionally, Start Screen Saver and Disable Screen Saver are also available.

Keyboard Shortcuts
The user can also set what keyboard shortcuts trigger the corresponding functions. Note that on iBooks and PowerBooks, it may be necessary to apply the fn key in addition.

As with the hot corner settings, modifier keys can also be used.

Discontinuation
The Dashboard & Exposé pane was replaced by the Mission Control pane.
