A Service to hide/show the Desktop
The following script will do the same without killing the Finder: tell application "Finder" if visible of window of desktop then set the collapsed of window of desktop to true else open the window of the desktop end if end tell Note: I observe that sometimes the open is less than instant, other times it is, YMMV. For the curious: you can test but not set the visible, you can open but not close, and setting collapsed to false fails as collapsing sets visible to false which you can't set... Hence the use of visible, collapsed and open!

Sorry, the hint meant "moving all your icons into la-la land" not "poofing every window into oblivion" ---

Does it not work for you?

Thing is that it's in the Dock. It takes up space. How about closing it instead? ---

I'm using this on 10.6 so individual collapsed windows don't take up dock space. However the collapsed window doesn't even show up in the Finder's window list in the dock - it is well hidden in 10.6!

Correction to the above: the desktop is shown in the Finder's Exposé window list after it is hidden. It is just not in the Finder's window list as a hidden window.

Wow, this is cool and very clever. It seems to take a long time to restore the icons from collapsed form though. Any idea why?

None at all :-( Sometimes it just pops back, normally it takes a while. The window always exists so showing it shouldn't take time... |
