MenuStrip 3 Adds an Innovative New Way to Hide Your Desktop Clutter Palo Alto, CA - February 10, 2005 - MenuStrip 3.0.3 Introduces an Innovative New Way to Hide Your Desktop Clutter MacPowerUser Software is proud to announce the release of MenuStrip 3.0.3 for Mac OS X. This update to our popular menu utility introduces an innovative new way to quickly and easily clear window and desktop clutter out of the way as you use your Mac to get work done. This exciting new feature, coupled with MenuStrip's existing 'Auto-Hide Others' setting, brings about a true 'single-application mode' experience. When enabled, each time you switch applications all of the background windows and desktop icons will hide out of view. This lets you focus completely on the current application. Later, when you need to access your desktop files, you can click on the Finder and the desktop icons will fade back into view. The 'Auto-Hide Others' and 'Hide Desktop' modes can easily be toggled on and off using a convenient menu button or user-configurable keyboard shortcut. Focusing on your work has never been easier! Version 3.0.3 update highlights: * Hide Desktop / Auto-Hide Others button * Hot-Key support for the Quick Launcher menu item * Added new 'icon-fade' screen effect when applications launch and files open * Fixed custom menu support for correctly handling folder aliases * Improved font rendering for certain LCD font smoothing settings * Many other minor fixes and improvements MenuStrip is the easiest and most flexible way to create your very own menus and shortcuts in the Mac OS X menu bar. Create menus by dragging folders full of files, or create application shortcuts by simply dragging applications to MenuStrip's items window. If your menu bar is already cramped for space, MenuStrip can help out there too. Use MenuStrip's control strip option to display your menu items anywhere on the screen. MenuStrip also has a flexible plugin architecture that lets you add useful tools to the menu bar. Several free plugins are already available, with more on the way. The currently available plugins are: * Contacts Menu: Have your Address Book contacts quickly available in the menu bar. Easily copy addresses, emails, and phone numbers. * TunesControl: Control iTunes playback from the menu bar. You no longer need to switch applications just to skip to the next song. * Safari Menu: Keep track of both your most recent and most frequent web sites visited with Safari. Organizes pages by their domain name so you no longer have to dig through your History to find the page you're looking for. * Eject Button: Eject your CD/DVD disc or empty tray by clicking this convenient menu button. Perfect for users with keyboards that don't have an eject key.
