Skippy-XD: Expose-Like Window Picker For Xfce, LXDE, Etc.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://code.google.com/p/skippy-xd/">Skippy-XD</a></b> is a lightweight <b>full-screen window picker</b> for X11, <b>similar to the Mac OS X "<i>Exposé</i>" feature</b>, useful for desktop environments like as Xfce or LXDE, which don't have such a feature by default.</div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">There are Compiz and KWin plugins that offer similar functionality (and GNOME Shell has this built in) however, Skippy-XD should work with pretty much any NETWM or GNOME WM Specs compliant window-manager: Xfwm4, OpenBox, FluxBox, WindowMaker, IceWM and so on.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/skippy-xd.jpg"><img alt="Skippy-XD" src="http://img.netupd8.com/skippy-xd_thumb.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Skippy-XD is triggered by a hotkey and it displays thumbnails for windows on the current desktop, allowing you to easily pick a window by using the mouse or keyboard. You can also<b> close windows by middle clicking them</b>.</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The application supports <b>live previews</b>, videos included, and uses compositing, but only when you press the hotkey to display the window picker.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Skippy-XD development stagnated for a while but now it has a new maintainer and appears to be active again. Recently, the application received support for closing windows (middle click), customizable tooltip position, VI movement keys (h,j,k,l) and many bug fixes. Right now, Skippy-XD doesn't display window decorations but according to a <a href="https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/issues/13">bug report</a>, that should change soon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below you can watch an old video with Skippy-XD in action:</div><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/gVRPCd7OS38" width="560"></iframe><br />(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVRPCd7OS38">direct video link</a>)</center><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Note that the video shows adding the Skippy-XD daemon on startup but from what I've read, the daemon is pretty buggy so you should simply use "skippy-xd" to launch it - or the script I've posted below, under "Usage", which works around an issue with Skippy-XD not showing minimized windows.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install Skippy-XD in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Ubuntu users can install the latest Skippy-XD from GIT by using a PPA. Add the PPA and install Skippy-XD using the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:landronimirc/skippy-xd-daily<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install skippy-xd</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">You'll also need to create a configuration file called "skippy-xd.rc" under <i>~/.config/skippy-xd</i>/. You can install the default Skippy-XD configuration file by using the commands below:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>mkdir -p ~/.config/skippy-xd<br />wget https://raw.github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/master/skippy-xd.rc-default -O ~/.config/skippy-xd/skippy-xd.rc</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This file has various Skippy-XD options which you can change: the window update frequency, colors, opacity, mouse bindings and so on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Arch Linux</b> users can install the latest Skippy-XD from GIT via <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skippy-xd-git/">AUR</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For other Linux distributions, you can grab the Skippy-XD source code from <a href="https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd">GitHub</a>.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Report any bugs you may find @ <a href="https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd/issues?state=open">GitHub</a>.</div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Usage</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Skippy-XD has a bug and doesn't display minimized windows.
