Shades For Mac Os X
WindowShade was a control panel extension for the classic Mac OS that allowed a user to double-click a window's title bar to 'roll up' the window like a windowshade. When the window was 'rolled up', only the title bar of the window was visible; the window's content area disappeared, allowing easier manipulation of the windows on the screen.
History[edit]
It debuted in System 7.5,[1] but disappeared in Mac OS 8, when the feature was implemented as a part of the Appearance Manager. A widget was added to the title bar in addition to the double-click method of collapsing a window. The entire feature disappeared with the release of Mac OS X; windows could be minimized to the Dock on the new system or, starting with Mac OS X 10.3, moved aside with Exposé. However, several third-party utilities, such as WindowShade X for Unsanity's Application Enhancer software, have brought the ability back to Mac OS. It has since reappeared as a commercial haxie and offers other features, like translucent windows and minimize-in-place. WindowShade X from Unsanity stopped working in Mac OS 10.7, and other third-party developers have since released applications such as WindowMizer from RGB World that keep the WindowShade feature working on Mac OS X 10.6 and greater.

The WindowShade control panel itself stems from a third-party utility originally written for System 6.0.7 by Rob Johnston. Apple purchased the rights to this software from the developer for use in System 7.5.[2]
Other operating systems[edit]
Some window managers for Unix-likeoperating systems have a similar feature allowing windows to be set to 'roll up' when the user double-clicks the title bar of a window.[3] Some window managers provide a titlebar button to access the functionality. While Microsoft Windows does not expose such a feature by default, in some versions if a window is minimized while no taskbar is available, the said window will become a 'shade' at the bottom of the screen. An intentional shading implementation for Windows is provided by third-party software vendors.

Black Shades is an open-sourcevideo game developed by Wolfire Games. Originally released for PC, it was later ported to many other platforms due to the source code availability. The player controls a psychic bodyguard who is tasked with protecting a VIP from a horde of zombies, snipers and other assorted would-be assassins.[1]
History[edit]
Development[edit]
The game's developer David Rosen (founder of Wolfire Games) aimed for Black Shades a much simpler graphical style than in GLFighters and Lugaru.[2] He did this in order to complete the game within the deadline for the uDevGame 2002 game contest.[3] The source code is hosted on icculus.org under the 'UDEVGAME LICENSE'.[4][5]
Releases[edit]
Black Shades was first released in 2002 for PC with Mac OS 9, Mac OS X,[6] and Windows.
A Linux port was created by Zachary Slater.[7] In 2009 the game was also ported to the Apple Inc.iPhone[8] and iPod Touch. In 2013 the game was ported to the ARM-based OpenPandora handheld.[9]
Mods and add-ons[edit]
Due to Black Shades' open-source nature, this allows it to be modified extensively. The Black Shades Enhanced partial conversion[10] authored by Michael 'Bitl' Hart, offers more capabilities such as a higher frames-per-second limit, the option to use a windowed mode, and the option to adjust the player's field-of-view.
Gameplay[edit]
The object of the game is to defend the VIP from assassins and zombies for a set amount of time. Once that time is met, the player progresses to another level. Each new level presents a randomly generated city, and a new weapon for the player. The levels get progressively more difficult. Aiming their weapon, the player is not presented with an aiming reticule as is common in most first-person shooter games, but the player is allowed to use the ironsight of their weapon.
Abilities[edit]
The player has two psychic abilities, the first one being 'Slow-mo'. This ability allows the player to slow down time, for the purpose of having more time to aim, kill possible assailants. The second ability is the 'soul fly', which allows the player to fly around the city without the body of the bodyguard, allowing them to find enemies.
Reception[edit]
The game was noted for its use of procedural generated content.[11]The game was one of the winners of the UDevGame 2002 contest, out of about 40 contestants.[3]Eurogamer's Jim Rossignol named Black Shades number 2 in a top 20 list of Summer of PCFreeware games.[12] Joe Martin from bit-tech.net recommended the game even in 2009 with 'Black Shades isn’t a new game, it’s just a free game that I really like. It’s basically the opposite of Hitman, but reduced down to twitch shooter basics and presented in a typically indie way.'.[11]
