As a matter of course, we have a complimentary upgrade path to the latest version of Desktop Curtain for you, outside of the App Store.
Desktop Curtain 2.2 requires an Intel-based Mac and Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
Desktop Curtain Classic 1.5.2 runs natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs and requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later. If you're on an older system, get version 1.0.
Desktop Curtain is a simple tool to hide the clutter on your desktop. It's perfect for teachers, presenters, writers, developers, and anyone else that hates clutter and/or needs to take screenshots with a clean background.
We offer two versions of Desktop Curtain: the completely free Desktop Curtain Classic here on our web site, and the newly spiffed-up Desktop Curtain that's only available on the App Store and comes with a nearly-negligible $1.99 sticker price.
