Is there a way to keep a program running while it being hidden as a backround application if you know what I mean... like QuickPopup on a Mac. Thanks
gallagb said:i think what he's asking is if you can have a prgm open
say Stattoo or Aqusition or some program that you don't really want to "use" at the moment
and make it completey 'disappear'
ie when u hit Cmd + Tab it doesn't appear in the listings
so MORE hidden than just Cmd + H
ditto that it doesn't appear in the DOCK
kinda like Konfabulator- it is Running- but i don't see it in the dock nor when i switch apps is it an option...
ideas?

That is determined by the people who make the application, BTW.
iHatePCs said:Oh... yeah I wanted it running kind of as a backround application (service). Thats stinks.![]()
Mechcozmo said:A service on a Mac is much different than on a Windows box. A service on a Mac allows you to take a screenshot with Grab instead of Command+Shift+3 in Cocoa applications, allows you to send a file to a Bluetooth device, search Google for the selected text, etc.
Services on Windows are things that hog CPU time![]()
