no, maybe you should read what i said it was clear, and concise and to the point most importantly it got across exactly what i meant |

oscillik.. you must be in the middle of some kind of academic computing (or more likely IT) course because you seem to have allowed the condescending, over-explanative style of writing that they encourge to spill over into normal discussions. Try to make them like this instead: |

If you meant it in the context of what you appear to be inferring then it was a purile childish statement to make because the same comment can be said of every person in the world...everyone knows something that someone else of their choosing doesn't know. |

I would also like to point out, as you like to think of yourself as technically minded. that the result of the question you asked me would change the normal expected behaviour of a core component of the operating system interface, which is completely frowned upon by any self respecting developer. |

i am not currently taking an educational course which contains the teachings required to make a student capable with terms related to academic computing (or the more likely, IT). i am however a ball of meat swimming in gravy, enclosed in a foil tin with a cardboard lid |

well actually no it wouldn't, you see because it doesn't change any "core component of the operating system interface" at all. |

Q) Why did version 10.3.4 of the operating system cross the road? A) I don't know. Fuck off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
thank you :) you're highlighting the importance of Mac OS X to this thread it has nothing to do with the subject title of the thread, which still, no-one has answered :( oh well i guess i'll have to make do with explorer.exe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can't you just use netscape or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I said it changes the expected behaviour. If a user was to sit down at a machine you were working on to find that the icon wasn't showing in the dock would they, or would they not, be potentially confused? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You have to ask why the fuck are you looking for shell replacements for windows running on a virtual machine on a mac? WHY? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you mean someone who is accustomed to using Mac OS X, or a Windows user? because some say that a Windows user would be "potentially confused" just using the machine normally, wouldn't you say? and if it was a user accustomed to Mac OS X then they would know that some programs that you can get for Mac OS X do NOT show up in the dock, because they have this "tweak" enabled by default |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because LiteStep.exe back in 1998 used to be faster than explorer.exe, and i wanna squeeze as much speed out of the Virtual PC as possible for running things like floops |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But surely they would be expecting...hmm, let's say System Monitor to be showing in the dock? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
since LiteStep has since gone shit slow, i was hoping that there would be shells out there that gave the equivalent (or better) performance of LiteStep "back in the day" |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Run windows 2000 instead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

by "System Monitor" i am assuming that you are referring to Activity Monitor.app yes, the average user would be expecting that application to be situated in the dock, displaying CPU usage as a bar graph. but there are other uses for making an application not visible in the dock |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I think you have to download the main access files and hack the null interface node. |
||||||||
|

Yeah, just get a PC. |

i am thinking about making a mini-itx machine, and using Remote Desktop to control it via my Mac |
||||||||
|
|

Hang on. What's the problem now? |

by "System Monitor" i am assuming that you are referring to Activity Monitor.app Jesus, you are a prick. I bet you were bullied at school. I was using your very own example in the terms you phrased it earlier in the thread...to save you looking 1) because you may have an application that you don't wan to appear in the dock, such as a system monitor that sits on your desktop, that you don't want taking up spacein the dock Why do you insist on trying to type and phrase things like you are the world greatest intellectual? |

i am running Windows 2000 but like i said, i wanna squeeze as much out of the system as possible. i'm the kind of guy who will sit there for five minutes scraping every last bit out of the bottom of the yoghurt tub. i will lick the inside of a chocolate wrapper to make sure i haven't missed any chocolate. i will eat every last crumb off the plate when i have some cake. |

Seriously, how did this thread get so big? OMG WTF LOL |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
So replacement shells for explorer.exe exist? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please note: i said a system monitor, not System Monitor. the former refers to any system monitor application available for Mac OS X, the latter referring to a specific application called System Monitor. why do i insist on trying to type like i'm the world's greatest intelectual? because it pisses you off. why do you insist on totally changing the subject matter of a perfectly innocent, and non Mac related subject into a Mac bashing thread? i didn't ask for your opinion on why i should get a pc instead of using Virtual PC on my mac, i asked for shell replacements for Windows XP |

yep they do. i only know of two though: LiteStep (which is apparently quite shit now, but used to be the proverbial bomb) and BlackBox (but i don't know anything about this one, i've just heard of it) |

You get sadder by the minute. I could have answered your original question at any time, I just wanted to see how shit would pan out in the thread. i said a system monitor, not System Monitor. the former refers to any system monitor application available for Mac OS X, the latter referring to a specific application called System Monitor. haha fucking classic. Grasping at semantics is a wonderful thing to observe. Oh and you type like a wannabe intellectual all the time, not just in topics I am involved with. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha :D! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh and just to answer your original question take a look at Core and SharpE. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no actually, you are the one who is sad. you actually make a point of seeing how far you can spread shit in a thread? don't you have anything better to do than ruin a perfectly reasonable request for help from fellow computer users? i have no doubt that you would have been able to tell me the best shell replacement that you have ever used...hell, you probably could code your own and it'd be the bomb. but no. you couldn't actually help someone, you had to go to the extent of spreading muck. just for the "fun" of it. no mate, you're the sad one. saying that though, you do know your stuff when it comes to PC's and Windows, and making tracks in Max/MSP |
||||||||

thank you for actually responding to the original request. that's all i asked for. |

Just to make sure I was right in my assumption of how to hide the icons it is just altering the boolean value in the pList xml file of the application isn't it? |
||||||||

|

hahaha man, you just made me laugh on a day that has been my worst this month thank you |

Shut up before I hunt you down and slash your jugulars open for a laugh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is how you can make hidden applications appear in the dock, but to make an application disappear from the dock: find the application file (example: iPulse.app) ctrl-click, then choose "Show Package Contents" (because applications on Mac OS X are actually just folders with UNIX executables contained in them) open the Contents folder open the info.plist file and add this line: LSUIElement and and the string value of "1" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ooh. Jugulars. Neat, did you hear that on the Discovery Channel? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
typo: and and the string value of "1" should be and add the string value of "1" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what I meant. It is a boolean value, you can have the string value set to 0 or not present at all, both of which leads to the icon being visible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh you really should become a comedienne or something. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm not the one talking about jugulars, like you think you're "the world's greatest intellectual". Any normal person would just say they would cut my throat. |
