Dock functionality in menu bar?

Does anyone know of any 3rd party app or Leopard hack that allows for some of the dock functionality to be replicated on the menu bar? It would be great to have an icon on the menu bar that when clicked shows all the applications from the dock including running applications. This would help when the dock is hidden.
Thank you!

[Butler|http://www.petermaurer.de/butler> can do just that (show running apps). You can also configure it to show the same apps that you've got in your dock but there is no auto syncing. you have to add and remove the apps to that menu by hand. However, I agree with baltwo - unhiding dock is much quicker. I use Butler as an app launcher but I never bother with that particular menu that Butler put in my menu bar.

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • Help with Copy function in menu bar

    Hi,
    I'm experimenting adding a cut utility to my app. I've added it to my menubar
    final JMenu edit = new JMenu("Edit");
    edit.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_E);
    Action cutAction = new Editting.Cut.CutAction();
    JMenuItem cutMenuItem = new JMenuItem( cutAction );
    cutMenuItem.setAccelerator( (KeyStroke)cutAction.getValue(cutAction.ACCELERATOR_KEY) );
    edit.add(cutMenuItem);where the CutAtion is
    public final class Cut {
        public static final class CutAction extends DefaultEditorKit.CutAction {
            public CutAction() {
                putValue(Action.NAME, "Cut");
                putValue(Action.SHORT_DESCRIPTION, getValue(Action.NAME));
                putValue(Action.MNEMONIC_KEY, new Integer(KeyEvent.VK_T));
                putValue(Action.ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_X, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
                putValue(Action.SMALL_ICON, new ImageIcon("images/cut.gif"));
    }The cut function works ok when i use the accelarator (ctrl-x) but when i click the cut item in the menu bar it doesn't work - nothing is added to the clipboard. I've looked at other posts but everyone seems to be using the above code, but dont seem to be having any problems. Any ideas why I am?
    Many thanks,
    BBB

    ok, this is a total hack around the problem. But can anyone see why implementing a robot in my copy action wouldn't work: -
                java.awt.Robot myRobot = new java.awt.Robot();
                myRobot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
                myRobot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_C);
                myRobot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_C);
                myRobot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);so rather than using the copy action itself, it imitates a ctrl-c key press.
    I'm at work at the moment, so can't really try this out. But can anyone see why this 'wouldn't' work for copying JTable data.

    MacBook4,1 (13 inch 2008 model)
    OS: 10.6.8
    No OS operating disc or bootdisk
    I am rewriting/submitting this question as I didn't think the original title was helping my cause:
    I have an older macbook (white macbook4,1) without any boot disc or OS disc. Currently using 10.6.8 OS.  As the Administrator, I can log in and do get a dock and menu bar. All seems okay.  However, this is my childs computer and when she is able to log in, but the only thing that appears is a blank screensaver screen.  There is no dock or menu bar.  Only the cursor appears.  Again, I do not have any discs as I purchased this sometime ago and it was a used macbook and didn't come with any discs.   BTW, this just recently occurred as she was able to use normally and as far as I know, nothing was downloaded knowingly that caused this.  We've been using 10.6.8 OS for sometime now on this unit.  Thank you

    You will need to purchase the retail copy of Snow Leopard:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

  • Dock, ichat, and menu bar acting wierd

    Hi,
    Stuff's acting weird for me...
    1. the dock no longer shows the text above the items when I mouse over it. If i drag an icon off and then back into the dock (without letting go of the mouse) then the name of that icon appears and sticks there until i click the mouse somewhere else.
    2. the menu bar sticks on one menu when I click on it, and wont let me move to other menus unless i hold down the mouse. I used to be able to click on one menu and then just move the mouse around to the other menus, but now I have to hold it down.
    3. Sometimes the sounds in iChat just disappear. I read that force quitting coreaudiod in the activity monitor restores the sounds but this doesnt work. I need to restart for it to work.
    I tried repairing permissions and restarting but nothing is fixed yet. I hope someone can help me here.
    Thanks
    edit-
    I should add that when I click on a menu, it pops up and none of the items highlight when i mouseover them. Also none of the submenus come up either, I have to hold down the mouse. This happens on right-click menus too, like in Firefox or on the desktop.

    Nevermind, it all came back. The dock names dont show up and menus dont come up unless I hold down the mouse. I tried restarting, deleting finder prefs, and repairing permissions, but I cant fix it.

  • My dock and top menu bar disappear when I am using Firefox

    When I am using Firefox 4 my Dock and the top of screen meu bar disappear (similar to a Hide) but will reappear when I click my mouse on the desktop. It really annoying! I can't minimize the Firefox window into the Dock for later use at all! Any way that I can make this stop?

    This has happened to me before and it took me a long time to work it out.
    But all you need to do is froce quit safari or any application that this is happening to and start the application again.
    Hope it works.

  • Menu bar and Dock disappear after exiting Time Machine

    Time Machine has worked absolutely fine for almost a week. A few hours ago I clicked the icon on my dock to see how many incremental backups it had made today, and everything seemed fine. However, when I click cancel now and the desktop comes back, the dock completely disappears. The menu bar is about halfway to being functional: The shadow appears, but it does not lighten my desktop picture behind it anymore. All the menus are gone, except for those for Bluetooth, AirPort, the clock, etc. I can still open Finder windows by double-clicking the folders on my desktop, but most -- if not all -- keyboard shortcuts are rendered inoperable. They mostly just produce the default error sound, and control-F2 simply highlights a very small invisible box in the top-left corner of the screen. I can also no longer open any applications, and any applications I already had open I can't select.
    The only way out was to force a shutdown, but if I try to use Time Machine in the Finder this problem keeps recurring. (It works perfectly in iPhoto.) Also, now if I try to back up Time Machine hangs while "Preparing". I have spent the last hour trying whatever I could think of and also wailing like a child. Please help!

    Just a thought....this is not a problem with my MacBook on which I installed a new version of 10.5.
    The problem only manifests itself on my iMac at work which I updated using a Drop-in Leopard DVD.
    Do you think this could be the problem? Anyone out there having problems that did a retail 10.5 install?
    I just re-installed Leopard from the drop-in DVD and first time I opened Mail and went to Time Machine it seemed to be working....it gave me the starry background and asked me to select items to restore to the Inbox. But then it failed to restore the selected messages and I'm back to where I started with a non-working Time Machine in Mail.

  • Icons in menu bar or dock

    Is there a way to run regular programs (such as iCal) with the icon in the menu bar and not the dock? Even if they aren't necessarily designed to do so?
    I was wondering if there was some terminal command for it.
    Adam

    no terminal commands for this. but there are lots of 3rd party apps that will let you place application shortcuts in the menu bar. I use Butler which lets you do it. I'm sure just about any other app launcher like Quicksilver or Spark offers this functionality too.

  • Menu bar app not appearing in dock.

    I have SugarSync running, but I can't see it in the dock, or in the app switcher (the command-tab keyboard shortcut). The only way I can switch to it is with Mission Control, or by moving windows around until I can see and click on SugarSync. In addition to the above problems, it doesn't show up on the left side of the menu bar even when it's the selected window. This all seems to be because it's designated as a "background app", for lack of a better term. I've searched everywhere I can think of for an answer to my problem, but the only results I can find are for people that want apps to leave the dock, not the other way around. How do I change an app's property from background or menu bar app to normal?

    Julien,
    Eventually everything went up but I never heard back on my emails. Unfortunately, so long as the contracts are all "in effect" and the app is "ready for sale" all you can do is wait for them to get it up on the store and you don't receive any notice as to when it goes up so you have to keep checking in iTunes. Sometimes it can be found through the search function before it is listed in a category and it may appear in some territories before others. The other way you know it has gone live is when the trend reports begin appearing.
    The "add rights" or "request reports" things I think only pertain to music or film but not to the apps so it's just a bug in the software that it mentions it to us.
    Sorry!

  • Apple script to enable/disable dark menu bar and dock when sunsets/sunrises

    Greetings,
    Regarding the new dark menu bar and dock function in Yosemite. Would it be possible to write a script that would enable this function at a certain time say sunset and to disable it at another time say sunrise?
    If so, is there anybody who could possibly help me write such a script or atlas point me in the right direction please?
    Many thanks in advance
    G_D

    Although you can set or remove the Dark interface style with defaults write syntax, the reset back to default (non-dark) interface will require a log-out/log-in cycle to entirely remove the Dark style. Toggling this style on and off in the System Preferences > General panel does not require the preceding log-out disruption. Unfortunately, other than possible GUI scripting, the Apple Script dictionary in Yosemite is very limited with respect to System Preferences access, and enabling/disabling the dark interface style.

  • When I turn on my Macbook, only a blue screen appears with no Dock or info in the menu bar

    When I went to turn on my Macbook OS X today, only a blue background showed up. For some reason the only program that opened was Bittorrent and besides that in the menu bar at the top there is nothing on the screen. The dock wont appear even if I hold my mouse down over where it should be. There is no time display in the menu bar. I can open single applications at a time by clicking on the apple icon in the left corner of the menu bar and selecting "recent items" but other than that nothing else works. When I go into "system preferences" and try to click different display options for the dock and menu bar such as the clock, it won't let me select it.
    I tired booting up the computer in "safe mode" and everything was fine, but then when I went to do a regular start up the same problem occurred.
    Has any one else seen this problem.

    Try running this program and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor.  Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read.
