What is XPCover?

XPCover

XPCover is a neat little tool that runs on the Yahoo! Widget Engine. This widget helps you keep your computer activity private by showing an image on your desktop whenever you hit a special key combination. Pretty handy, right?

Why Use XPCover for Privacy?

If you're looking to hide what you're doing on your PC from nosy people, this software is perfect for you. It’s super simple to use and can really help maintain your privacy while working.

Getting Started with XPCover

Once you have the app set up in the Yahoo! Widget Engine, you can easily access the Widget Preferences panel to tweak some settings. By default, XPCover comes with a screenshot and taskbar image that appear when you use the keyboard shortcut. But guess what? You can change these images to whatever you want—as long as they’re in JPG, GIF, or PNG format!

Customizing Your Experience

You’re not stuck with just one hotkey either! You can modify the default hotkey and choose different triggers from the options found in the General tab.

Features That Make XPCover Stand Out

XPCover allows you to decide whether the frame stays on top of all other windows or goes behind them. Plus, it can ignore mouse events and prevent dragging—pretty cool features if you're trying to keep things private! Oh, and did I mention that you can even change how see-through it is?

A Lightweight Solution

This app is super light on system resources. It runs smoothly without causing any hiccups in Yahoo! Widget Engine. Even though it hasn’t been updated in a while (probably because of Yahoo's project changes), XPCover is still a great choice for anyone who wants an easy way to hide their activities at work.
