Hide All Apps

Ever find that some people can't tell what the 'active' application is on a mac? Especially if they're a windows user?

Hide All Apps will automatically hide everything else. I suggest you set it at 30 seconds (each 30 sec. it checks to see if some other app is running. All background apps get hidden.)

Free.

This application hides all visible applications, except the one you're working in.

Pro App Reset - Version 5.

It's sorta beta. Of course, you're on your own, and if it turns you sterile, it's not my fault. But it shouldn't do that.
Pro App Reset was born from the idea that I wanted to quickly 'reset' the Pro Apps, as if they were freshly installed.

Version 5 comes comes in two flavors.

The "Everything" version - which I use in the classroom. This version wipes everything 'standard'. It's great for a classroom, renders, FCP/DVDSP/Color documents....Gone! All put in the trash. Anything in the 'non standard' locations gets left alone.

Based on Feedback - I now have a second version - the 'Plist' version this one will only trash the prefs, leaving your document folder alone. This one just does the plists. Know when you're told 'pull the prefs' for fcp? Again, this just puts them in the trash.

Need to move keys? The wrong keys undo?

If you encounter switchers in your classroom, they may feel frustrated with muscle memory - that they go to hit CNTRL-Z (or CMD-Z) and find when they went to the other platform (which they of course hate), that they hit the wrong key. And it leaves them upset.

Remap Keys on the mac - for example, switch the cmd + control keys:

KeyRemap4Macbook [From KeyRemap4MacBook]

Controller Mate [From OrderedBytes :: ControllerMate]

Double Command - [From DoubleCommand]

Tesla - [From 親指シフト for Mac OS X]

ZoomIt v1.71

ZoomIt v1.71:

It's the best (so far) Windows version of OSX's Universal Access Zoom.

ZoomIt is screen zoom and annotation tool for technical presentations that include application demonstrations. ZoomIt runs unobtrusively in the tray and activates with customizable hotkeys to zoom in on an area of the screen, move around while zoomed, and draw on the zoomed image.

Pro App Reset. Version 4.1

Yeah, you know you need it.

A way to quickly reset all the ProApps.

That would be: Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Motion, Compressor, Livetype, Shake and Aperture.
