Value: 1.0

Of all the applications that I've purchased over the years, this is the first app that won't give a discount to registered users. Sent an email on the subject, never got reply. Recently, went back to their website & now there isn't even a "Contact Us" to ask a question for support.

I'm still using v. 1.5.3 in Mojave and it works just fine. It's 64bit so it should continue to work after os upgrades. I will not try the new version since there doesn't appear to be an upgrade discount.

I like it, no problems. I think Windowshade is the feature that was killed in MacOS (by next developers that pushed their Dock) I miss most. I use Mac OS for over 30 years now and

Hacky, gimmicky, unnecessary, and it is a matter of time before it gets abandoned for one reason or another. Apple frowns upon this type of software because it tries to work around SIP. This kind of utility works ok at first, but eventually, causes some issues due to OS updates, tighter SIP implementation, and so on. Sooner or later, it will force you to spend a bunch of time fiddling and troubleshoot (= a glorified term for beta-testing), and all the perceived milliseconds of efficiency is lost almost instantly in the process.
