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;
• Hide the application quickly;
• Do nothing and ignore the action (sometimes it is quite useful as well).

These actions can be set on per-application basis so you can configure your workspace to be convenient for you - get more accomplished, and make it happen quicker!

^* Note: The WSX 5.x upgrade is not free. This release implements a new URU (Unsanity Registration Updater). If you bought WSX on or after August 28th, 2009, this upgrade is free. If you bought WSX before August 28th, 2009 and you have a previously valid serial number, you will be given a 33% coupon if you wish to update. Your currently valid code will continue to work with older releases of WSX.

All of the serial number updating is done through URU. URU presents itself if needed when you open the WSX Preference Pane. It's all very straight forward and we hope you enjoy the action.

^* Note: WindowShade X v5.0 and newer are NOT compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.x. Please download version 4.3 if you are running Mac OS X 10.5. Please note that this version is unsupported.

New in version 5.0.4:

• Addressed a packaging error that prevented WSX from working with carbon applications.

New in version 5.0.3:

• Addressed a problem causing missing symbol errors to appear in the console.
• Updated the Japanese translation.
• Some other minor bug fixes

New in version 5.0.2:

• Addressed a problem by using IsValidWindowPtr() before CFGetRetainCount() that caused a crash in Snapz Pro. It was a stupid bug and the code should never have not had a call to IsValidWindowPtr()
• Addressed a crash in Adobe AIR applications. Everything (MIP, make transparent) should work, except for shading in AIR applications.
• The above fixes may have fixed other errors.
• Merged Koichi MATSUMOTO's Japanese translation. Many thanks are owed to him.

New in version 5.0.1:

• Addressed a problem that caused EyeTV to deadlock on launch.

New in version 5.0:

• This upgrade is not free. This release implements a new URU (Unsanity Registration Updater). If you bought WSX on or after August 28th, 2009, this upgrade is free. If you bought WSX before August 28th, 2009 and you have a previously valid serial number, you will be given a 33% coupon if you wish to update. Your currently valid code will continue to work with older releases of WSX.
• You can download the previous version of WSX from http://www.unsanity.net/windowshade-x-43.dmg. WSX 4.3 does not work with Mac OS X 10.6.
• All of this is done through URU. URU presents itself if needed when you open the WSX Preference Pane. It's all very straight forward and we hope you enjoy the action.
• Now requires Mac OS X 10.6.x.
• You may have to restart after installing WSX for the first time.
• Updated to support Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard v10.6.x
• Now supports only Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard v10.6.x
• Adds support for 64-bit processes (x86_64 only, ppc64 is not supported)
• Requires Rosetta. If Rosetta is not installed, Mac OS X 10.6.x will offer to install the 4MB Rosetta package during the install of WSX.
• Now uses CoreAnimation for MIP (Minimize in Place) windows. Yay, CoreAnimation!
• Addressed a lot of problems (WSX was inactive) with various applications.
• Addressed the issue that caused most of the kCGErrorIllegalArgument errors. If anyone continues to see it, tweet it with the application name, pretty please. TIA!
• Should no longer give errors for "CPS" named functions.
• Clang/LLVM's excellent static analyzer (http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/) helped us to find and fix some bugs that would only show up during a red moon.
