WindowShade X 4.0.2 brings Mac OS 9’s popular Window Shade effect to OS X. Double-click on a window’s title bar, and the window rolls up and out of the way—complete with the “swoosh” sound you would expect if you were a classic Mac user. If you prefer, you can determine whether the window becomes partially or completely transparent, minimizes in place instead of to the Dock, or hides completely.
