Now I understand. Thanks.

iMovie and GarageBand from Apple are probably close to this concept. 
Still, they closes the window once before opening another project. 
Probably I should seek a way to hide the mainframe for half a second on 
Mac when closing a project so that Mac users feel more comfortable:)

Thanks
