WindowShade X is a haxie that brings WindowShade functionality into Mac OS X. When you double-click a window title or try to minimize a window, it will do action which can be different from the default Mac OS X behavior (putting the window in the Dock). WindowShade X has 5 alternative minimize styles: WindowShade, Minimize-In-Place, Make Window Transparent, Float on Top, Hide Application, and Do Nothing.
What's new in this version:
- The price of WindowShade X has increased from $10 to $13.50. (Will take effect on Wednesday)

- Dropped support for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. WindowShade X now requires Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger v10.4.11 or later.
