Ratings and Reviews
Keyboard shortcut caveat
Seems to work as described. Pretty simple in that it just takes a screenshot of your desktop and overlays it on top of your icons, it doesn't actually make them toggle on/off.
Anyway, I found if you want to use the keyboard shortcut in "Services", it does work, but the caveat is you have to click on the desktop first for it to work. If you create a shortcut using the F5 key(for instance), you first have to physically click on the desktop, then push F5. With this in mind, it seems to work properly. Just wish I didn't have to remember to click on the desktop first.
Developer Response ,
A solution was found! Should be working with version 2.2.1. Thank you for your feedback!
Simple and great!
I was looking for a solution to hide my icons during conference calls and screen sharing sessions and this app allows me to achieve that with just one right click from the menu bar! Thats amazing! Kudos for the developer of such a great app!

Thank you!
Works great but...
The app hides the icons as it claims. I just wish the app could be automatically enabled when I turn on my Mac. I have to manually engage it each time my Mac reboots because the icons always show up. Other than that, it's been fine.
