Hide an application's dock icon Is there an easy way to hide an application's dock icon?  For example, I can't hide Iconfactory xScope dock icon. Most similar apps have an option to hide the dock icon, but I can't seem to find one in this app's preferences.
Try editing the app's plist (inside the .app package i.e xScope.app/Contents/Info.plist)

and add or edit the following entry:

&lt;key&gt;NSUIElement&lt;/key&gt;
&lt;string&gt;1&lt;/string&gt;


Because this hides the menu bars, it should be possible to create a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences&gt;Keyboard&gt;Keyboard Shortcuts for any functionality that you need the menus for.
