The following conversations are taken from the reviews posted in various countries within the App Store. Because there's no mechanism with which to respond within the App Store, we're using this space to do our best to turn these one-way reviews into actual conversations. (Support information can be found in the sidebar at right.)
Nice words and comments and questions are coded for quick browsing; our replies are below each quote.
Newways [UK] writes: I like this. I use my own family photos as wallpaper and I love the way in which this cleans up the desktop and the open windows and I use it all the time. I would have given it 5 stars, but there are three niggles:1) The documentation is ok but just needs a slight improvement...I recommend this app.
If you'd care to expand on how the documentation could be improved, we'd love to improve it!
mikebenda [USA] writes: Give us the option to change the color of the curtain. Green is nice but variety is better.
A future version may include a translucent curtain, so you can simply set the color behind the curtain. We may or may not include more colored curtains as well.
mikebenda… Animate the curtain opening and closing rather than having a static picture suddenly appear.
We’re not sure if we’ll animate the curtain—it presently fades in, which means it’s not really instant.

Added an in-app setting for this in Desktop Curtain 2.1. (Alternatively, you can still drag Desktop Curtain to your login items in System Preferences → Accounts, of course.)
Nicholas Burch [USA] writes: It would be great if all you had to do was to set what you want once and right when you press it, it would cover your screen not having to choose to do it is just shows up.
Added in Desktop Curtain 2.1—you can now optionally show or hide the settings panel at launch.
mikebenda [USA] writes: The standard “curtain” backdrop is elegant and works well. For under $2 it’s a steal. I have a few small suggestions though. First, please give us to option for a black-and-white menu bar icon, to match the others already there.
Desktop Curtain comes with not one, but two black and white icon choices since version 2.1.
mikebenda… And if possible, keep the curtain in place when using Exposé (except the reveal desktop function of course)
Added Exposé interaction settings in Desktop Curtain 2.1.
