WindowShade X 2.0 Released

Posted by pudge on from the shades-of-mac-os-classic dept.

slava writes "Unsanity has released a major update to its award-winning haxie, WindowShade X. 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."

    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.
