1.1 is available now. Ads in some keyboard navigation (tab cycles through the apps and return brings the app into focus.) Still seems a little limited to me though.

This is pretty nice. Its simple, yet serves its purpose. I use mainly when I using Accordance Bible Software because Accordance has floating windows. If there is stuff open in the background it makes it hard to focus on them. For me, this is a good and free solution.

too true, I actually have another app called menu shade that hides the menu bar. Whenever I start a project, I just call up think and menu shade and hide my dock, and im nice and focused. But it would be nice for one app to do all of that.

I think it would be nicer if it covered the dock and the menu bar for a true fullscreen effect (ala Scrivener). It's ok for what it is though.

Like hamsterdecombat said, Think is a great idea but it needs more keyboard support for it to truly become a part of my workflow. I don't want to have to change to Thin using command tab and then have to use my mouse. A program like this is for power users and power users use the keyboard. The "illuminate" jargon is also silly since it's nothing more than an app switcher.

This needs to replace command-tab to be truly useful.

Good idea, but you need to change apps through Think for it to work. Changing frontmost application with the Dock, the Finder, LaunchBar or Cmd-Tab didn't make the previous one darker for me, which made Think totally useless.

For those looking for keyboard shortcuts:

Command-Option-Return brings up the illumination panel.
Command-Control-Return refocuses just the illumniated app.
Command-Option-Tab illuminates the frontmost app.

My favorite thing about this is how you can hide all the icons on your desktop as well as other apps. This is great because even though there is another app that does this, this one is free and the other is not. I was kinda sick of draggin all my icons behind my pages doc anyway :)

It's a start. I'll use it when the "control panel" is closable (and keyboard navigable!) and it follows your clicks. It's rather frustrating the way it's set up now.

I actually quite like it. It makes me work more focused.
