First, the important bits about this release:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s a free upgrade to all prior purchasers of Desktop Curtain. That&#8217;s right, free. Just load up the App Store application, go to Updates, and install the Desktop Curtain update.<\/li>\n<li>Desktop Curtain 3 is also available directly from us. Unlike the prior version, we&#8217;re selling this one directly, as well as via the App Store. To purchase from us, just visit the <a href=\"\/desktopcurtain\">Desktop Curtain page<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Desktop Curtain 3 will cost $5 ($4.99 in the App Store), but it&#8217;s on sale through Sunday, May 27th for $1.99, the same price as the outgoing version.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So what&#8217;s new and exciting in Desktop Curtain 3? A <em>ton<\/em> of stuff, including this lovely new user interface:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/desktopcurtain\/images\/dc3ui.png\"><\/div>\n<p>In addition to the reworked interface, Desktop Curtain 3 has these awesome new features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Application isolation mode automatically places the curtain behind the frontmost application, letting you focus entirely on that program.<\/li>\n<li>A global hot key provides even more isolation, placing the curtain behind everything except the frontmost window.<\/li>\n<li>You can use the current desktop image as the curtain image.<\/li>\n<li>If the curtain is covering the desktop icons, clicking the curtain will activate the Finder.<\/li>\n<li>The curtain image is now translucent, making it simple to change the curtain&#8217;s color.<\/li>\n<li>New entries in the contextual menu (and in the program&#8217;s menu bar menus, and in new Dock item menus) allow you to easily hide the curtain, or change the level at which it&#8217;s displayed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Desktop Curtain 3 represents a huge improvement in functionality over the old version, and it&#8217;s available right now. You can download and use it for free (forever, if you wish) in a feature-limited mode, and then use an in-app button to purchase the full version when you&#8217;re ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we&#8217;re releasing Desktop Curtain 3.0, a major upgrade to our solution to desktop clutter.
