Hide app icon from dock but keep icon in task switcher?

You can show / hide the application icon from both the Dock and the Task Switcher by setting the "Application is agent (UIElement)" property to YES / NO.

However, is it possible to show the app in the task switcher (Cmd + Tab) but not show up in the Dock?

Thank.

I'm pretty sure this is not possible, and that the dock and app switcher use the same list to decide what should appear in them.

The reason I believe this is because there is actually a procedure to remove an application icon from the Dock while the target application is running, which has nothing to do with the LSUIElement key. (It essentially consists of renaming / moving the app bundle and then restarting the Dock.) Even so, the app doesn't appear in the switch.



(You can find the complete procedure at macosxhints.com if you're interested.)
