It took a while, but we’re finally happy to announce a Leopard-compatible version of Desktopple Pro, version 1.3.
There are lots of minor improvements and fixes here, and one big new feature: “Cover Sets.” Cover Sets allow you to define different “covers” for your Desktop. Switching between them is then just a quick trip to the […]
That’s right! Your favorite Desktop hiding utility is only $9.95 instead of its normal price, which amounts to over 40% off. The catch is, it’s today only.
For those of you who wanted a great reason to upgrade from the Basic to the Pro version, this is it!
Just pop over to the MacUpdate Promo website for […]
Earlier tonight, I was doing my regular Mac-web browse, when I came upon a review of Desktopple at The Unofficial Apple Weblog. Wow! What a fantastic review! Hats off to David Chartier and the rest of the gang at TUAW!
And there’s more news about Desktopple coming later in the week. It’s not a new […]
A couple of weeks back, Rick Yaeger, madman and head mercenary at MacMerc, asked me how to remove the Dock icon of an application. He wanted to be able to run the app, but he didn’t want it to take up space in the Dock.
I told him how to do it, but it involved a […]
Today, I noticed this:
Get your product reviewed on TAB (The Apple Blog)
Normally, that wouldn’t be worth noting, except that as you read the article, The Apple Blog is actually asking product developers to buy a review. The price: $200.
Yes, for $200, you can get your product reviewed on The Apple Blog. I find this truly […]
Sometimes it’s nice to have multiple ways to control an application. With Desktopple Pro, you can control it with the menu bar item or with the System Preferences. But sometimes, neither of those methods are convenient.
So today, I’m releasing the Desktopple Pro Widget. A quick trip to the Dashboard lets you launch and quit Desktopple […]
Desktopple Pro 1.2 is now ready for your dowloading pleasure!
Version 1.2 adds an Exclusion List to the Window Cleaning feature, so you can choose apps which don’t have their windows automatically hidden. I’ve also added some quick-access items to the menu bar, so you don’t have to make a trip to the Preferences just to […]
Yes, it’s finally here!
Desktopple Pro 1.1 has been released and it brings a lot to the table. In fact, so much has changed that I seriously considered calling it Desktopple Pro 2.0.
One of the feature requests that I kept getting over and over was that Desktopple Pro should be a Preference Pane instead of a […]
As mentioned in a previous post, there’s a memory issue where Desktopple Pro appears to consume too much RAM.
As promised, I’ve been working to solve this, and it seems that the problem lies within the Desktopple Preferences. Basically, if you lauch Desktopple Pro and don’t open Upon further digging, the source of the memory usage […]
Here’s a little history: the original Desktopple was written on a whim. I needed an application that could hide the Desktop, but I couldn’t find any available software that I liked. So I wrote my own.

But several […]
