    BALTHAMOS  Looked like a promising application. I'm assuming it works quite well on desktop machines, but this was driving me nuts on my MacBook Pro.

    Every time the computer tried to wake up when it was closed (USB activity, Bluetooth keyboard wake, mouse wake), the computer would attempt to wake up, then fall asleep (like it normally would). Though when you tried to actually use it again (open lid) the screen would stay black and could only be fixed by a hard restart.

    Same goes for trying to use clamshell mode; would just wake up, maybe put black pixels on the second screen, and fall asleep again. It exhibits the same problems as I described earlier.

    Great concept and idea, but bad support for these types of situations. I would stay away if you are a laptop user.  (Version 1.0.3a)

    AMCAN12   just installed and run Utility Lock. Every time I click on Lock Screen it does it but at the same time launches Incorrect Password warning and then locks the screen. Thus, once I enter password to unlock the locked screen it does it but forces me to re-enter password twice in the Incorrect Password window. How to fix it?  (Version 1.0.2)

    PIANOMANSAM  I quickly modified the original menu bar icon in Photoshop. Take a look: http://pianomansam.110mb.com/images/icon-on.png  (Version 1.0.1)
