IDEA: More against distraction

[m_s]

A while back, I posted (http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2553.0) about a discussion on 43Folders (http://www.43folders.com/2006/02/23/against-distraction/) which introduced a few simple Mac programs for dealing with distraction.  The brilliant Skrommel produced FadingTaskbar (http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/index.html#FadingTaskbar), which does the job of MenuShade brilliantly.  Many thanks!  I've just discovered MinimOther, which I think will be very useful also!  Now I'm wondering if the great S or some other genius could make a version of Backdrop (http://www.johnhaney.com/backdrop/). ;
