Preventing icons from showing in Dock?

[jackwanders]

I have some apps that I always have running (iPulse, LaunchBar to name two) but I don't want their icons in the dock as they serve no purpose. Any way I can do this?

Thanks.

This is how to do it:

* Quit the actual application.

* Right click the .app and select "Show Package Contents".

* Doubleclick the "Contents" folder.

* Open "Info.plist" in a text editor.

* Change

<key>LSUIElement</key>
	<string>0</string>

to

<key>LSUIElement</key>
	<string>1</string>

* Save file and exit.

* Done! ;)

I can confirm its working for LaunchBar! (Y)

Hmm...doesn't seem to be working for me. I found this link:

So you are right...it should work...but it's not. Unless I have to restart or log out first?

Promptly found this link:

As soon as I hit the submit button. Just had to move the app and then move it back to clear its cache.

Thanks.

Your welcome!

Perhaps I moved my LaunchBar.app after editing, because I never experienced the cache problem. :unsure:
