In computing, Komposé is a free software fullscreen task switcher for the KDE Desktop Environment. As the name suggests, it is inspired by Mac OS X's Exposé.

Komposé provides three different fullscreen modes to view of all your open application windows.

  1. View all your application windows in a single virtual desktop.
  2. View all your application windows grouped by virtual desktop.
  3. View all your application windows ungrouped by virtual desktop.

Every application window is represented by a scaled screenshot of its own. The user can drag and drop windows from one virtual desktop to another virtual desktop. Also a user can close a window when it is exposed in fullscreen mode. This program is the basis for Spaces in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

It currently supports the XComposite extension to x.org for faster graphics. It also uses the imlib2 library for fast graphics drawing.
