Hi:

I know every application running appears on the dock. Is there any way to have an application running and not see it on the dock? something like a hidden running application...

Thanks

TC
 
Have a look at Dockless. It hasn't been updated in a while, but everything I've read says that it's still working fine on new systems.
 
help!!!

I installed dockless and did not like it. I unnistalled it using appdelete and then 3 things appeared on my dock 1. a docklike icon that says program is not responding 2. a loginwindow app??? and 3. a SystemUIserver app??? What happened??? please help. I already rebooted my computer twice and nothing

Any comments

one more thing. I have also noticed that if I log out or switch user I get this lowinwindow type of menu and then it changed to the apple menu. Please respond

Launch System Preferences and click to open the Accounts System Preference pane. From the row of tab buttons, select Login Items. Uncheck "Dockless" and then reboot.

Any help?
 
I will see about coding a small utility that will enable the LSUIElement in the info.plist

This will hide the whole application however from my knowledge. its great for apps like Hardware Growl though.

PS. If you want to manually do it google for LSUIElement

Scary! I usually try to not mod too much of my system's UI for this very reason.
 
Thanks guys. I already fixed it. I was sure it had something to do with dockless and the way I played with it before uninstalling. What I did was to install it back, then unchecked the boxes I had checked (they were exactly the same ones coming on the dock), rebooted and da-da. Problem fixed. I uninstalled dockless after that. all is good!

Thanks for your help

So what you experienced was exactly what you told dockless to do.
