I guess a lot of people prefer to manually add LSUIElement=true to their Info.plist, so the app won't show up in the dock. So far so well, but how can you change the one and only preference this app is offering if you do so? Right, you cannot.
Idea: When I double click the app for the first time (or start it during login), it just starts. If I double click it again, it shows the prefs dialog (which is possible for a LSUIElement application). A lot of applications that make use of LSUIElement behave that way. Another idea would be to add a "Quit" button to the prefs window, so you can also quit the application that way, since there is no other way to quit a LSUIElement app otherwise (unless you want to kill it in Activity Viewer or via command line). That way you can always edit the prefs, you can always Quit the application and thus the question would be, why not making it LSUIElement=true by default? Unless it is planned to ever have some active user interaction I see no point in showing this application in the Dock at all. What do you think about that idea? Are there any people out there who want to have HardwareGrowler in the Dock for any reason I fail to see? BTW implementing this feature is dead simple. A single NSApplication delegate method must be implemented in the object set as delegate and the only action this method must perform is opening the dialog. The system calls this method whenever the user clicks on the Dock icon of an application, but it also calls this method when an application is currently running and the user double clicks the application again.
