Desktopple Pro adds some widgety action

406435363 e4c0806de9 m Desktopple Pro adds some widgety actionAs developer August Trometer of FoggyNoggin Software puts it,

Sometimes it’s nice to have multiple ways to control an application. With Desktopple Pro, you can control it with the menu bar item or with the System Preferences.

So today, I’m releasing the Desktopple Pro Widget. A quick trip to the Dashboard lets you launch and quit Desktopple Pro as well as hide and show the Desktop. This is really handy, especially if you run Desktopple Pro without the menu bar item.

The Desktopple Pro Widget requires Desktopple Pro which may be licensed for USD$17. Desktopple quickly and easily hides all of your Desktop clutter. A quick trip to your menu bar or the Dashboard ot the touch of a hotkey is all it takes, and those icons, windows and even the Menu Bar itself vanish from view.
