I'm still using v. 1.5.3 in Mojave and it works just fine. It's 64bit so it should continue to work after os upgrades. I will not try the new version since there doesn't appear to be an upgrade discount.

I like it, no problems. I think Windowshade is the feature that was killed in MacOS (by next developers that pushed their Dock) I miss most. I use Mac OS for over 30 years now and

Hacky, gimmicky, unnecessary, and it is a matter of time before it gets abandoned for one reason or another. Apple frowns upon this type of software because it tries to work around SIP. This kind of utility works ok at first, but eventually, causes some issues due to OS updates, tighter SIP implementation, and so on. Sooner or later, it will force you to spend a bunch of time fiddling and troubleshoot (= a glorified term for beta-testing), and all the perceived milliseconds of efficiency is lost almost instantly in the process.

cool. faster and more reliable than windowmizer, though windowmizer still has better options to resize (like resize to thumbnail) ... nice UI and the height feature when resizing to titlebar is a nice touch. keep up the good work and lets see some other options to resize.. remember sticky windows from donneleschi software, that was the bomb.

Very confusing. After installing version 2.3.2 from "Deskovery2.3.2-signed.pkg", the application is called "Deskovery2.2.1.app" with version number 2.3.2, while About Deskovery shows it to be "Version 2.3.0" and I am told that I am up to date with "Deskcovery2 2.3.2" when I check for updates.

Be careful with 2.3.1. Working on Mac Pro 5,1 Mavericks 10.9.5 it's impossible to use Photoshop CC 2014 correctly with Deskovery 2.3.1 !!!

With this latest version 2.3.1 Windowshading finally works reliably again. The only problem I see is that the zoom button dropdown doesn't appear properly on my second monitor.

I already have WindowMizer and it just ok. Its very slow, to the point where its unusable for me. Is there a Demo for this to see if it works any better than WindowMizer? I already paid $15 for an unusable app, and I'm not comfortable paying another $25 to find out this is not all that different.

I just installed Discovery. Why can't see the name of the folder or file when they reduce to windowshade size? Folders and Files reduce to the titlebar when double-clicked. But the name doesn't display. It seems that everything gets so huge, I can only see the very top of what's supposed to be in the titlebar. Can someone please explain what I've done wrong? There doesn't seem to be anything in Preferences to fix this. Is there something very simple that I'm missing? Thanks very much.

Can anybody compare Deskovery to Windowmizer? I'm finally trading in a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 for a machine with Yosemite. They both say they're compatible with Yosemite. Can't decide which will serve me better. My ONLY need is windowshading. Thanks . . .

Downloaded this and tried it out. It does exactly what it says on the tin, great for Window Shading, and the window menu is great too. Buying it was the easiest decision until... I saw the price. Seriously? $25 for this? I mean Scrivener is $45 and you can write novels and theses in it. Carbon Copy Cloner is $40 and you can back up you're entire Mac. The entire OS is free and this costs 24.99? To collapse the window into the title bar. Wow. And you need a licence for every machine. On the App Store I can buy any app and install it on any machine I own. At 4.99 this will sell by the truckload. At 24.99 thanks but no thanks. I'm taking 2 starts off simply because the price us absurd.
