I was reading with envy what people wrote about the defunct Spirited Away application for the Apple Mac. Unfortunately, the app has not been updated for a long time now and it is not Intel-compatible.
Fortunately while reading this, I stumbled upon a comment by someone called pbj:
“It should be also noted that Quicksilver can provide the functionality that [someone else] mentioned, whereby using QS to switch apps can automatically hide all other applications.”
Quicksilver! But I run Quicksilver! And I love it. So I quickly went to check the Preferences and as you can see in the above screenshot, the option to auto-hide applications when switching to another one is found in the Extras section.
One absolutely delicious (and unexpected) consequence is that this auto-hiding also happens when using the normal Alt-tab key combination! And also when clicking on the application in the dock!
It seems that this is my 250th post

out of the blue, which version of wordpress are you using?
um, sorry if i can’t comment on your alt-tab thingy. I don’t really get to use Apple made PCs.
Never could get around the mono-button mouse concept….

damn. you beat me to it. I had just finished downloading it at the time of my last comment.
…but i was too sleepy to go install it. (yea i know. Ella came out 12 days ago. I was waiting for the dust to settle down)
your site does seem a bit different from before…

Actually, I’m using the same theme so visually nothing has changed except that I modified the theme some days ago (i.e. before I installed 2.1) to have a more prominent search box and a more visible list of related posts. That’s why you perceive a difference…
