Existing users, 
As a longtime WindowShade-type shareware user (from OS 6 or 7), I am most annoyed that I have to deal with Unsanity's APE to have 'shaded windows.
Sadly, the haxie does NOT work on about one-third of my apps, (Apple MAil for one) crashes Now Up To Date, DragThing, viJournal, QuarkXpress, to name a few. The problem is probably with APE but Unsanity has not answered my repeated crash reports and emails.
I wish Apple would buy WindowShade and just incorporate it into Leopard, as it had on System 9. I really miss that feature and it seems that Unsanity cannot handle the problems that APE creates.
How sad.

terrespencer - I use and have used WindowShadeX and APE concurrently with Mail, QuarkXpress, and DragThing for several years now with no problems. I've run this combo under every system since 10.2 - both at a home studio AND in a production environment (I run a prepress department). You might want to take a closer look at your system before you blame these apps for you problems. You might have some other instability going on.BTW - I've been using APE even longer than WindowShade - it enables a utility called PullTab that returns the control of the "Command-Tab" feature to the user (it's used in Quark and Filemaker for quick navigation) instead of letting the system hijack it.
