WindowShade X 5.0.5
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;
  • Make window float on top;
  • Hide the application quickly;
  • Do nothing and ignore the action (sometimes it is quite useful as well).

WHAT'S NEW
Version 5.0.5:
  • You may have to restart after installing WSX for the first time.
  • Addressed a problem causing WSX to not work in applications that appear to be carbon but use cocoa windows (Adobe AIR apps, Adobe Photoshop CS5 32-bit)
  • Includes APE 2.6.1 to properly handle 64-bit Adobe CS5 applications.
  • Works with iTunes 10. However, it is ugly. If you want the old title bar back in iTunes 10, just enable an iTunes 10 feature by opening the terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and hitting return after entering the following on one line:

    defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -bool YES

  • Replace YES with NO to restore the default iTunes 10 behaviour (which is not the iTunes 9.x behaviour).
  • This depression is unbelievably painful.

REQUIREMENTS
  • Mac OS X 10.6 or later.
  • Rosetta.
