Desktop Curtain

Open Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
Description
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 clean background images.
◉ New in 2.1: Launch at login (optional), hide and show via global hot key, show or hide settings panel at launch, control interaction with Exposé ◉
Why waste time moving files and folders on and off of your desktop when Desktop Curtain can make things look spotless in a jiffy?
Desktop Curtain lets you set images via drag-and-drop or the standard file dialog, and it will remember your 10 most-recently-used images.
You can also control at what "level" the image floats (and hence, how much stuff it covers), and whether it affects all monitors or just one (the same for Spaces, too).
Desktop Curtain also runs in three modes, including a fully-invisible mode perfect for those who take screenshots.
What's New in Version 2.2
• Boss mode immediately places the curtain in front of everything on the screen
• Image name now shows as a tooltip when hovering over images in History
• Minor bug fixes

Don't fix what's not broken
New update killed this app for me. No longer covers desktop by default. Only way to make the app work as it should is to go into it's settings panel and toggle options on and off!
Please fix!
f11 was a deal breaker
When I hit f11 to move my windows off-screen, it moves curtain off-screen too. I suppose this is expected behavior but I had hoped that Curtain would override it.
Rather lackluster
I was expecting something a bit more 'magical'…all that happens is a jpeg is placed over my desktop. I could have created a seperate desktop in spaces to put my junk and then never visit it and have a clean desktop. For $2 there should at least be an animation of curtains moving on and off the screen. Not impressed.
