When checked, the desktop still behaves as though the box is unchecked. The desktop cover moves away, along with the windows, revealing the icons on the desktop.
This does not happen with v2.1 and Tiger.11.
I've emailed macrabbit, but have had no response.

I've been a long-time user of DeskShade, and am thrilled to see that it is now fully Leopard-compatible. This utility is absolutely invaluable to me.
Keep up the great work, MacRabbit!

If you just need to quickly hide/show your desktop icons I recommend "DesktopSweeper", a little APE hack. It get's invoked just with a keyboard shortcut. So, no "mousing & clicking" needed!
While we are at it, "Window Dragon" is also a nice APE hack, which let's you drag your windows from anywhere you want, with just the press of a modifier key!
Sorry for being a little OT.

I find the clutter on my desktop to be a tad annoying if not distracting. This app is perfect for sweeping the dust under the rug.
Thanks!
p.s. The developer is a great and usually responds to emails very quickly.

I have emailed the developer about the bug several times, but have not gotten a response.

I use a MacBook, connected to a 20.1" Wide-screen LCD.
Instead of using both screens, I utilize the hardware feature where I can close the lid and the main screen will be the attached monitor. I prefer this over having two screens.
I consider the way I'm using the app as "unconventional", so I've never bothered the developer about it crashing once I disconnect the external monitor.
