XPCover Description

XPCover is a small and simple-to-use widget built on the Yahoo! Widget Engine platform, which lets you cover up your current activity on the computer by bringing up an image on the desktop. This action is automatically performed when you trigger a key combination. This type of software application can be useful when you want to ensure the privacy of your whereabouts when you're working on the PC, by hiding your activity from prying eyes. Once the app is integrated into the Yahoo! Widget Engine, you can bring up the Widget Preferences panel to configure settings. By default, XPCover supplies a screenshot and taskbar to be used when pressing the keyboard shortcut. But you can change these files into something else, as long as the image format is JPG, GIF or PNG. In addition, you can modify the default hotkey and hotkey trigger, by selecting one of the available options listed in the General tab. Thanks to the default settings provided by the Yahoo! Widget Engine, you can also enable the frame to stay on top or below all the other windows, to ignore mouse events and to prevent dragging. Last but not least, you can alter the opacity. XPCover is very light on the system resources and works smoothly, without causing the Yahoo! Widget Engine to hang, crash or pop up error notifications. Although the app has not been updated for a very long time, probably due to the Yahoo! project discontinuity, XPCover provides users of any skill level with a simple method to hide their activity on the workstation.
