This haxie (stands for 'Mac OS X hack') adds to Mac OS X the window-collapsing features found in Mac OS 8/9. The new version 2.0 adds some new features, including control over exactly how thick you want your window shadows to be, option-clicking to minimize all windows in current application, a new installer, and more. Get more information and screenshots or download it."

Don't get me wrong and mod me down as flamebait...I love this haxie and have a registered copy.

But c'mon /. this article is basically an advertisement you have posted here...

"Award winning"? I'd be very interested to know what awards this won. Not to mention the contributor, "Slava", is the programmer who wrote this.

What makes it extra crazy is...

• this is just an update, not even a new program
• the program is a remake of a hack that has been around for about a decade (System 7, right?)
• the program isn't free (as in anything)
• even worse, the demo is timed and lasts half an hour or something.

I do like the program; it implements an obvious and useful GUI feature that is built in to just about everything except Windows (hell, even Blackbox). And at $7 it is a better buy than most shareware. But putting it on slashdot alongside notices of new versions of entire operating systems available for free is a little much, Mac section or no.

Actually, I'm interested in this product. Ad-like? Sure - but still, it's an interesting hack, and I plan on trying out.

So thanks for posting the story, guys. At least I like it.
