Hide App from Task Switcher

[sclough]

I have an app that's really a background app, so I want to hide it when I do Cmd-Tab or the new four finger swipe. I've done a few searches, but can't figure out how to do it. Is there a plist setting to make it hide when switching apps?

Incidentally, I also tried Dockless to hide it from the dock, but it didn't appear to work, so I guess I need to play around manually with the plist settings.

Sorry, it turns out the dock hiding trick takes care of the app switcher too. It just took a reboot for some odd reason. Some cached file somewhere I guess.

Thanks. Didn't even know that was possible!

Got it working with Dockless

Yea, dockless works pretty well.

You probably need the reboot to kill the Finder and Dock processes. They will only query the app once to see if it should be shown...
