Instead of shuffling all windows to the side, it takes a snapshot of all the windows you have on-screen, shrinks it to a small window you can put wherever you like. Then you just click on the snapshot, or press F11 to get everything back.
Thanks for posting this... I think it's a lot cooler looking than the default behavior.
yes so do i think, BUT "desktop in a box" is a pretty buggy thing like someone pointed out. that is why apple might have not enabled that feature as an option yet.
A lot of people, me included, experienced that bug. It is hard to explain how that bug appears to you. It is like that: There where the "Desktop in a Box" once has been placed, that little space/place becomes a Hole (litteraly) in your desktop. You can't drag things from there anymore for example.

And yes, I prefer that setting, too, but I believe they had some bugs with it and therefore didn't activate it (akin minimize-in-place in Jaguar).
To say the least. This predated the Panther worldwide release, if I'm not mistaken.

It is indeed buggy as hell. Radio buttons and buttons stopped working randomly in Safari, Firefox, IE, and I'm sure there is more stuff it fucks up.
