Simply brilliant. I run this with menu eclipse or simply configure the mac menu to hide using presentyourapps and you've got a distraction free work space. You can turn any program into a distraction free program with Isolator. I've tried the others but this is the best out there.

@ DrLeonP: At the bottom of the isolator web page is this:

Contact & Donations

Bug reports, suggestions, etc to bdeb at willmore dot eu.

This is in large type. Perhaps you were expecting an email address that was formatted more to your liking rather than the "anti-email collecting spiders" defensive formatting that the developer used?

I haven't yet tried this but I certainly intend to tonight. It sounds like a great little utility.

I had to track down the developer. [Why Versiontracker does not have contact on the app's page or why the developer does not have contact information on his home page is a mystery.] The trick to avoiding the crash is to completely delete the previous version of Isolator. Delete the app and its pref file.

Then install the latest version. Unfortunately, you will have to do this every time you update.
