Doesn't work in 10.8
Doesn't work in 10.7
I'm putting the finishing touches on the all-new RoaringApps, with support for Mavericks & iOS 7.
Try it out now and help me squash some bugs.

PLEASE bring this back for Mountain Lion! Willing to "pay" for the upgrade!
I installed Mountain Lion on one of my Macs and I will not be upgrading any of my other Macs if this functionality is not restored. It is one of the main reasons I am so productive with my workflow. Can't believe this is not still just built into the OS?

Deskovery is an application which can perform the windowshading you seek.

Best, most useful app ever - need the upgrade to 10.8! Helps keep desktop organized when many files are open - why can't Mac develop this?!
- -
Also, can someone please tell me what happened to another old fav - F11? Used to use it all the time on my old mac for a quick files disappear/reappear. Anyone know how I can set that up again? (F11 now volume down key on 27 iMac)

Great app - sadly latest version does not work under OSX Lion. Apple really needs to bring this functionality back to the OS.

I agree. I don't want to keep going down to the bottom of the screen just to find a darn open file. Bring back windowshade…or unsanity, get WindowshadeX to work.

I'm sure it will be the usual with Unsanity (What an appropriate name for the company) and it will be over a year before this will be updated to work with Lion. FML. I have a true love/hate with this company.

This sucks… Just upgraded to Lion OS and not happy I can't windowshade. They really need to bring this function back in the OS.
[ Lynick4442]Lynick4442Anonymous 07 Dec 2011 13:39
agreed. I'm so frustrated.

I agree, Apple should allow Unsanity's WindoShade in Lion. One of the best Mac Apps out there, for years.

this is the worst. why do i even use a mac if i cant use windowshade?

I found this app that works with Lion. Deskovery but I didn't love it. While it did window shade, it didn't work with the ease of Windowshade. I'm going to a one-on-one Mac class to see if I can use the new tools in Lion and re-thing how i organize my workspace. I've been using Mac since 84 so maybe I'm just not giving Lion a chance. (Even tried the magic trackpad but I'm missing my mouse too.)

I used to love windowshade back in the OS 7/8/9 days, but since I got used to cmd-tab to switch apps and cmd-backtick (the other one on the tilde key) to switch windows within an app — somewhere around 10.3 I think — I don't miss windowshade at all. Give it a shot!
