How to hide application icon programmatically?

Is there any way to hide dock icons in Snow Leopard?

  • I would like to be able to hide the dock icon of one running application while leaving the menu bar icon in place.

  • Answer:

    Yes! Check out Dock Dodger (free, donations requested by the developer): http://foggynoggin.com/dockdodger. You just drag the app's icon into Dock Dodger, and it'll keep it from showing up in the Dock when opened.

Open the Info.plist file in the Contents folder of the app bundle in Property List Editor, add an item called "Application is agent (UIElement)", and click the checkbox that appears next to it. Or, just throw <key>LSUIElement</key><string>1</string> as the top child of the <dict> element in the Info.plist inside of the app bundle and you should be good.
