Desktop Ghost HIdes Files On Your Messy Desktop

Do you tend to keep a lot of stuff on your Mac’s Desktop? Mine certainly serves as a dumping ground for saved documents, screen shots, software downloads, and what-have-you. Yes, I know it slows down startup times and Finder operations in general, but it fits my organized chaos workflow.

Anyway, Coral Springs, Florida based Writes for All today has a solution for at least hiding the chaos. Desktop Ghost 1.0 for Mac OS X is a utility application that allows you to hide and show all the files on your desktop with a single click. Desktop Ghost is an ideal solution for OS X users who take screencasts and/or screenshots but don’t want to move all the files on their desktop to another location on their computer.

You call that a messy Desktop? Here’s mine on a relatively good day.

Desktop Ghost also gives users the choice to run the application as a status bar-only app or as a regular app with a icon in the dock.

Desktop Ghost Features:
* Instantly hide and show the items on your Desktop
* Optionally run the app as a status bar application for easy access
* Hide/Show your desktop items from the standard window or the status bar
* Easily set Desktop Ghost to run when you log in to your Mac (optional feature, disabled by default)
* Hides all items on the desktop when you press the hide button – Items dragged onto the desktop after a hide can be seen (unless you press the hide button again)

* Use Desktop Ghost to hide your messy desktop for a screencast
