DESCRIPTION
WindowShade X provides an exciting and useful way of organizing your work on Mac OS X. With this handy tool, you can assign the following actions to the minimize button and a double-click on the window title:
  • Minimize the window to the Dock, like always;
  • "Windowshade" the window into a tiny strip to quickly peek below or get it out of the way;
  • Minimize-In-Place the window so it becomes really small so you can move it out of the way yet still see what is going on;
  • Make the window transparent so you can continue working in it while seeing things under it;
  • Make window float on top;
  • Hide the application quickly;
  • Do nothing and ignore the action (sometimes it is quite useful as well).

    **...

    EASER  I had hoped that the new APE would fix some problems with WS, but no. I have two significant problems. 1. I cannot seem to add a new event/action in the "Settings" tab. I double-click, but I cannot enter hot key. I have to quit System Preferences just to delete the new entry. 2. Minimize-in-place competes with Apple's double-click title bar to minimize. Doesn't matter if I turn off Apple's feature under "Appearance." It eventually turns itself back on. And even when I can get windows to minimize in place, they eventually disappear from my screen completely. Even if I try to reactivate them from within an application (where they do still appear in the Window menu), they do not reappear. And trying to pin them to the side or bottom of the screen is a joke. So I agree with other posters. This software is crap, and Unsanity seems utterly indifferent to it all. I really hope some other developer(s) come along and give us a product that works (and put Unsanity out of business).  (Version 4.2b1)

    ALBABE  It seems that Unsanity has completely abandoned all of it's loyal users.

    As for PROFINITE's comments... I'm not sure what he/she means... Unsanity posted that comment on Feb 24, 2008, 6 months ago... and they haven't posted anything since... except a new Ape that seems to mess up Windowshade. As this poster says, these are all BETAS... I think it's unconscionable business practices to leave their users with only betas rather than fully functioning apps. 7 months is too long a wait.

    I have problems with a few clients: Windowshade or APE seems to affect Preview... every time Preview crashes it asks to report to Apple and Unsanity... I assume this means Unsanity is the problem.  (Version 4.2b1)

    ROBERT COOGAN  Doesn't work at all under 10.5.4 on my MBP. Tried reinstalling, and nothing seems to work.  (Version 4.2b1)

    PROFINITE  For those who believe that Unsanity does not respond to inquiries, I suggest that you read the announcement in the yellow box at the top of their blog page that has existed for months now:

    I own FontCard, FruitMenu, Menu Master, and WindowShade. All of their betas have worked well with Leopard on multiple Mac's.  (Version 4.2b1)
