Three things I wish Apple would do for OS X:
1. When working with files on the desktop, an Expose key that works like this; "Show me the top most application AND the desktop" Big deal if I can clear all the windows and only see the desktop OR see just the topmost app windows. Typically, I want to drag a file on the desktop into an FTP window or open a file on the desktop by dragging it onto an app icon in the dock or even, heaven forbid, throw a doc away by dragging it to the trash.. stuff like that... is there ANY software that does this?
2. Scale the fonts and title bars. Please, please let us reduce some of that extra graphic stuff like fat title bars... I want control of my list views smaller than 10 pt. Really, Apple, there are some of us who are over 40 with really good eyesight! No, really, the demographic exists!
3. Zoom OUT! Expose does is with the F9 (well the default F9 key.. I use the Fn) and you can watch everything work, but you can't INTERACT WITH the windows. It seems if I can ZOOM IN using Universal access at 20 TIMES!!!, I should also be able to zoom OUT at the same negative magnification and do work... Maybe Apple figures if it allows us to do that, nobody would buy their honking huge screens.... yeah, maybe, but I just want the equivalant of WUXGA on my PowerBook that my friends have on their lower priced Dell notebooks.
If anyone knows of any software solutions (or hacks I have to do in Terminal, holler.) Apple, if you're reading, please pay attention to at least one of your customers who has been buying Mac exclusively since 1984... )
Thanks
