Mac Intosh 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Quicksilver is an app that is invisible. What I mean is that If I go +tab, it doesn't show up. How can I do this with other apps? Link to post
nightcrawler1089 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I'll ask the question for you at the QS forums, and get back to you if I find anything out.-NC Link to post
Mac Intosh 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well it doesn't really have to do with Quicksilver too much. I was using that as an example. I just want to know how to make an application (for example, MenuShade) not show up when I hit +tab. Link to post
macdeviant 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Not quite sure why you don't see QS but I definetly see QS after hitting your key combination on my MacPro using 10.4.10. Link to post
nickheer 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 So, correct me if I'm wrong, but you want to do the following scenario (for example):Start iTunes. Put on a song. Have the song/album/music/whatever keep playing while you're browsing the 'net, but when you press Cmd + Tab, you don't want to see the iTunes icon.Something like that?Easy peasy. Hit Cmd + H on any open application. It'll hide all of the application's windows. Note that this particular command doesn't work in Photoshop (and probably other applications). In that case, just Ctrl + Click on the application's icon in the dock and choose "Hide".If you're talking about hard-coding it into an application's preferences or something, I don't know how to do that.

Mac Intosh 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Well if you choose that option to not show in dock... I'm taking a screen shot and will post it... Link to post
Bob Bobbio 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 This is quite easy to do, and you can do it to any cocoa app on OS X.Just right click on the app and click "show bundle contents"Then edit the file info.plist to addLSUIElement And the app's icon won't show up in the dock anymore or alt-tab Link to post
Mac Intosh 0 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Still doesn't work. I have MenuShade and I dont' want menushade to show up when I click +tab. I've tried the +h thing... doesn't work tried adding the lsuielement thing... doesn't work. Does it matter if the icon is already in the dock? Link to post
Bob Bobbio 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 It should work, have you tried restarting the app after you made the change, and also make sure the change is still there in the file, because sometimes apps resist you changing there info.plist file and you might have to do it more then once for it to stick.One last thing make sure it is after <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"><plist version="1.0"><dict>and before</dict></plist> Link to post
Mac Intosh 0 Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 The first one is first then the second is last right? Got it. It is continuing not to work.... Could you upload the modified Info.plist file for MenuShade? and then I'll put it in...http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/ip...ing_640x360.movhttp://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/ip...ith_640x360.movhttp://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/ip...ind_640x360.mov Link to post
