Needs to be re-thought to be usable with multiple Spaces in Leopard...
I used to use this but now use Camouflage instead, because I frequently hit cmd-option-H to hide all others apps. Problem is, it hides Backdrop as well, revealing my desktop icons. No good! This doesn't happen with Camouflage, so it gets my vote.
Merlin Mann of 43folders uses it for minimizing distraction... pretty interesting!
Paired with other tools like SpiritedAway and MenuShade you get a black screen and can focus on one single app in front.... wow... that´s like holiday.

Dead handy.
Why oh why can't Apple just capture shadows in screenshots instead?
