Hi everyone! Sorry to be a nuisance, but I have yet ANOTHER question. How would I do something like DeskLock from macrabbit's Deskshade app? I've made the little window and that's as far as I've come. I know how to "lock" the screen in 10.6 with PresentationOptions, but I don't want to risk it because last time it wouldn't let me back in ;]
EDIT: The DeskShade app actually is meant to cover your desktop, hiding all icons. It also allows you to randomize wallpaper patterns with several fade/swipes. There is one extra feature called DeskLock that actually presents a translucent black bevel (similar to AppSwitcher build into Mac) with a lock icon, and you can place personal text. When you click the lock icon, it presents a modal that asks for a password you can set. You can also just type this password without pressing anything, followed by the Enter key, and it unlocks the screen. This uses the DeskShade feature of hiding the desktop as well.
Thanks!
