DESCRIPTION
Desktop Curtain displays your favorite desktop picture just in front of your real desktop, so you won't have to clean up each time you need to take a screenshot. You can control Desktop Curtain with any hot key utility (e.g., Butler) -- please refer to Desktop Curtain's "Miscellany" settings for information on that.

There are times when you need to make a screenshot which should meet the following requirements:

  • standard desktop picture (aqua blue or plain white, for instance)
  • no desktop clutter

JANGLE  Indispensable for holding presentations with demos (so the audience doesn't see the mess on your desk) or making pretty screenshots with a background.

CLEARMIND  I use this all the time!

My desk is a mess, but it need to be so.

Desktop Curtain hides my desk mess and when I need access to the mess: exposé!

One request: Clicking the curtain make Finder active.

Well, two requests, Dropping files on the curtain -> copy them to desktop..

Thanks for all your great apps!

GEORGEW  Works great, but has view issues. It only activates on the main monitor and is not active on a second monitor. When you are using spaces and you show all of them to, lets say, move a document window from one space to another, you can accidently grab the curtain and it moves. It should stay put in this mode. When activated, it shows the current application documents but hides any others. I want it to hide just the desktop.
