My "Hide Your Desktop" app (Hyde)

  • Uncategorized

I don't often write about my work on the devdaily.com website here, but since this application was largely written in Alaska, I'll mention it here. :)

I've written a small, $0.99 app for Mac OS X app that lets you "Hide Your Desktop" (and Desktop Icons). In short, it lets you hide your desktop (and desktop icons), so you can focus entirely on your foreground application. It also lets you change the color of the app, and add cool sound effects for its animations.

Okay, that plug is over, time to get back to life in Alaska. :)
