MacHider should hide apps too
Mac Hider is great to hide files in my mac, but I want to hide the application itself. I don't want anyone to see that I have something to hide, if you know what I mean.

New design of password window
Updated HUD for password entry with non-Aqua buttons. I think that this would give the password prompt a much cleaner and "fused" look with the operating system.

The folders don't dissappear from the sidebar
If a folder is hidden it should disappear from the sidebar too.

Rename MacHider to some other for more privacy
I believe it would be great if we had the option to change the icon or name of the machider icon in the top menubar. Right clicking on it to read "open machider" would give people more than enough information to be able to do a simple google search to find out what the app is and does. An option in the preferences to be able to change this to something else, for example "open volume preferences" would be terrific.

What about Russian language?
Please add Russian localization. I think a lot of people of the former USSR will be grateful for this update.

Change Interaction for Hide button
The "Hide" button looks very iOS-like and I keep clicking on it to change the status and nothing happens. I forget I need to drag the button.

I think it would be cool if the user only had to click the button to toggle hidden or unhidden states.
