Hi Tiemo,

I found the following on the internet somewhere, I think it was the AppleScript newsgroup.

- Open de application package to see its contents.
- open the Contents folder
- Open the file "info.plist" in a text editor and add the following two lines inside the
outermost <dict></dict> tags:
<key>NSBGOnly</key>
<string>1</string>
Example:
<dict>
    [lots o' XML, possibly including
     other nested <dict></dict> tags]
    <key>NSBGOnly</key>
    <string>1</string>
</dict>
The following two lines should also work:
<key>NSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
but the latter solution hasn't been confirmed. If you tried it, let us know.

This applies to Mac OS X only. I think (guess) that hiding the window suffices on Windows.

Sorry, I know this must have been asked a couple of times, but I didn't got
the right search terms for the archives.

I want to build a tiny launcher app to launch another app and quits
afterwards, without any notice for the user, so that he doesn't even knows
of its existence.

Technically everything is easy, beside I don't get the launcher totally invisible. I tried it with setting the stack property invisible. Hiding the stack at startup, setting the topleft to -1000,-1000 at startup, getting rid of every title controls, BUT whatever I try, a "window frame" (which is much
larger as the stack size) blinks up for a moment, before the launcher
disappears. It's just a nice to have, but I am sure there must be an easy
solution.

Thank you

Tiemo
