Menu bar only OmniDazzle?

[Josue Salazar]

I'd love to run OmniDazzle without having it present on the Dock.

Is this possible at all?

Try the following, which I've used for other utilities which don't really require a place in the Dock (eg. HardwareGrowler)...


Add OmniDazzle to your account's login items using the Accounts prefpane, and mark it to start hidden.

Add a 'LSUIElement' key to its 'Info.plist' file as follows, substituting for the parent directory of the application in if you installed it anywhere other than /Applications:

defaults write /Applications/OmniDazzle.app/Contents/Info LSUIElement true

Restart OmniDazzle and close its config window (or hide the app).


To show the icon in the dock again...


Remove the key:

defaults delete /Applications/OmniDazzle.app/Contents/Info LSUIElement

Quit OmniDazzle from its status bar icon, and restart it.


HTH,
