Personally I have used Windowshade close to a decade since Mac OS 10.1 on dozens of Mac systems with various flavors of Mac OS X from web production to gaming systems and haven’t had any issues related to APE or WindowShade. Sidenote: Some people have said the Application Enhancer, aka APE, WindowShade uses tends to cause issues with their system. WindowShade X has many other features like making the window transparent which can be dialed in to your exact liking among others.
I love this feature as it seems to increase my productivity when I have my desktop infested with a copious amounts of windows to deal with dragging and dropping files from one window to the next. Essentially when you double-click on the title bar of a window, instead of the window moving into the dock, which you can leave that feature on if you like, it will collapse the window to the title bar in its place. Which if my memory serves me correct was a feature introduced by Apple way back in Classic Mac OS 7 or 8 where you could collapse windows to their titlebar. WindowShade X is a simple system utility app. Has updated WindowShade X to 5.0.6, grab it here:, and I thought this would be a good time to give a mini-review. Version 2.1.2 fixes several bugs and all users are encouraged to upgrade.
Unsanity today released WindowShade X 2.1.2, a maintenance update to its utility that brings the familiar window-collapsing effect from Classic Mac OS into Mac OS X, and allows you to control window shadow settings. When you double-click the title bar of a window, WindowMizer minimizes the window to the Dock and leaves a placeholder title bar on the screen.
WindowMizer is a Mac application that will roll-up your windows like a windowshade. I am looking forward to bring some needed focus back to the ‘ol Mac OS for a bit and hopefully other related news, check back for more updates, news and views on this event 😉. 20 at There are also rumors of new iLife updates and product announcements too. 20 which states “Come see what’s new for the Mac on October 20, including and sneak peek of the next major version of Mac OS X. 20 and sink it's teeth in new version of Mac OS X 10.7 Apple announced a special media event for Oct.
