Oddly it worked. I set LSUIElement in the Info.plist and the app UI works without the Dock or task list icon.
However, doing that caused another weird problem - now my app launches multiple instances of itself every time I double-click it. Remove the LSUIElement key and that behavior goes away. I think the runtime stuff on OS X was never really ready for prime-time.

Mainly, I need my windows and menubar to still be visible. Unfortunately that means that LSUIElement is _not_ what you want, because a UIElement app can't have a menubar. In short, if you have a menubar, you will have a Dock tile. If you don't want a Dock tile, you can't have a menubar. The two are bound together. -eric _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
