- Some users were reporting that at first launch, some icons were appearing twice in the Bullseye. This has been fixed.

- Clicking an icon with the option key down will hide the current application as well as open the icon clicked.

- You can now hide every app but the one you want to switch to using two clicks with the contextual menu.
- Added keyboard shortcuts for quick access to show/hide, quit, get info, and other commands.
- Bullseye now draws a gray circle under the icons of running applications, so you can tell quickly what applications are already running and which need to be launched.
- Transparency is now settable. You can make Bullseye totally opaque as before, or almost totally clear so you won't hide other things on your screen.
