I used to have a program long time ago that did this. Wondered what it was or if there is some new software. Bascially want to switch between apps (click on dock icon) and NOT have all the other apps underneath it, so you just see the desktop.
Any ideas?

Found this program
Freeverse : Think
Very neat....close to what I need...figured I would share it.
Any program ideas? Ideally something I can just install and it works.
Thanks!

Hold the Option key as you click on your apps in the Dock.

ah yes, i remember, use this: Free Range Mac - TransparentDock
it can turn on single app mode, which is just like OS 9. you dont have to have this app to keep the setting.
its under the dock setup tab.

This isn't how switching apps worked in OS 9…

Um, OS 9 never had this setting anyway. To achieve this effect, you had to press option when you selected other apps in OS 9 as well which is just the same in OS X.

yes it did.
it had an option which would hide all over apps apart from the one you were using.
not very commonly used though.
EDIT: i am thinking of the 'show desktop in background' option in general controls. i cant remember if this hides the desktop and/or the other apps..

Oh, you're right. That was to simulate the non-multitasking behavior of system versions before System 6, I think.

And Mac OS X isn't software? You think pressing the keys works by magic?
