Camouflage 1.20

If you're like me, then you like to take screenshots and send them to people -- maybe it's to help them through an issue with their computer, or just to document something -- either way, icons on your desktop can get in the way. There are a couple things you could do to get rid of the icons: use command + shift + 4 + space bar to only take a picture of the current window, or you could move all of your icons to a folder.

This is where Camouflage comes in. It allows you to hide your desktop icons with a single click. Just click it's menu bar icon and ... BOOM ... the icons fade off your desktop. Click the menu bar icon again to have them fade back in. You can also assign a hot key and use a custom wallpaper when it is activated. Sometimes it's the simple things that amaze me.

Best of all, Camouflage is absolutely free (donations are accepted). You can download Camouflage from the developer's website.
