{{ infobox software | name = Exposé clone | screenshot = | caption = Screenshot of TopDesk showing an Exposé like mode of window tiling. }} Exposé clone is a computer software which mimics the window switching feature of Mac OS X operating system called Exposé. This type of software excludes the Mac OS X platform and is usually developed for the mainstream operating systems such as Microsoft Windows or Linux. Furthermore some of the Exposé clone programs improve on the features and/or functionality of the original Exposé making them more configurable and in some cases this type of software introduces a new way of the window tiling animation. For example TopDesk offers both Exposé and Windows Flip 3D style of tiling animation.
