WindowShade Mac

About WindowShade

This utility for managing windows offers only two features: the ability to reduce a window to a tiny strip and to make the window transparent. That might not seem like a big deal, but considering how many times a day you minimize and restore windows just to access what’s under them, WindowShade can save you a lot of time. With its handy controls, all you have to do is double-click the title bar. The miniprogram lets you adjust controls and window opacity. As you’d expect, it doesn’t take up a large amount of system resources. People who switch among folders a lot may find WindowShade useful.
