Collapse, Minimize-In-Place your windows and more!

Version 5.0.7 released Nov 15, 2010
Requires Mac OS X 10.6.x; Rosetta
Compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
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 no longer supported.
