How to remove OS X executable dock icon?

Hello everybody,
I have a java application built with Eclipse, for Mac OS X. This app is installed via a .pkg file, and supposed to be daemonized. Everything works fine with Macbooks. But when I launch it (sudo launchctl start blabla.plist) on iMacs (I have tried with two of them), i have an osx executable icon on the Dock.
It has been several days I'm trying to find a solution for this, and I've already tried with either setting LSUIElement to true or to 1 (string) in the Info.plist, but, still, no luck.
Here is an image with the icon (the one which isn't blurred):
Informations (assuming the app name is testapp)
When I double click on the executable (in /Applications/testapp/testapp.app/Contents/MacOs/testapp) i have the testapp.app in the Dock (with the icon file specified in the Info.plist). Here is a screenshot: res.cloudinary.com/doit0eqlo/image/upload/v1400750376/app_k3adzh.png
What can I do? Thanks for your help.
If it can help, there are the specifications of one of the iMacs I've tried the application on:

in that case this app might help you

Good luck

How can remove one of the dock in my mac pro .

"To remove an item from the Dock, just drag its icon onto the desktop. By moving an icon out of the Dock, you aren't moving, deleting, or copying the item itself — you're just removing its icon from the Dock. The item is unchanged. Think of it like a library catalog card: Just because you remove the card from the card catalog doesn't mean that the book is gone from the library."

How can I make a new Dock Icon which when clicked has apps inside

I just seen a Youtube video for something and on the video it had a dock icon of iLife 09, and when clicked it had all the iLife 09 apps, iPhoto, imovie etc in the icon like stacks. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahiXGtP3bGA, about 22secs in he click its)
i would like to do this and then I'd be able to remove the individual iLife 09 apps from my dock for space.
Can someone help me on this please. I have leopard v10.5.8
cheers

Create a folder anywhere convenient. Place in it aliases to the iLife programs. Drag it to the Dock.
If you want it to show with an icon rather than the generic folder icon, do this before dragging it to the dock:
Select the program which has the icon you want to use, e.g. GarageBand. Hit command-i. In the top left-hand corner of the info pane which opens is the icon for Pages. Click this to select it and hit command-c. Close the pane.
Select your folder: hit command-i. At the top left of the pane you will see the folder icon: click this to select it and his command-v. Now you can drag your folder to the Dock.

How to eliminate default Document, Downloads Dock icons

As I have 5 partitions, that's 10 Dock icons I don't use.
Thanks,
humanengr

Thanks -- that does most of it -- the Document and Downloads icons for all but the startup partition have not reappeared. Is there a way to permanently delete the D&D icons that belong to the startup partition?
Also, can someone please point me to detailed instructions online anywhere on Leopard? Or at least detailed instructions on new features introduced in Leopard?

RED HALO ON FINDER ICON - How to remove red halo around finder icon?

For what ever reason the finder icon in the dock has a red halo, like a red shine around it.
How can I remove this?
Thanks

Thanks a lot Badunit.

Go to this place and see if it looks the same there:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app
When you get to Dock.App, right click and "show package contents". Then navigate the rest of the way to
/Contents/Resources/finder.png
Double click on finder.png. Does it look like what's in the dock, with the pink halo around it?
The finder.png has the original look.
The only two things I downloaded so far are:
- the app 'caffeine' and
- the QuickTime component 'perian' version 1.2.3 (perian.org)
And system wise the only difference to the week before is that I now do regular backups with Timemachine (original software defivered with the mac).
Funny enough if I drag and drop the finder app into the dock the new icon has the correct color. It is just the original finder (the un-removable one) that has the pink halo.
Nevertheless,the pink halo icon it is functioning fine. But I still would like to have it the original way.
Thanks for your support.

How can I change web page dock icon?

I have dragged a couple of my favorite web pages to the dock, so I can access them quickly. Both icons look the same --- the gray @ on top of a spring. Is there a way to change these so I can tell them apart more easily? With only two, I can remember which is which, but as I add more, it will be more confusing. Thanks.

Right, so it looks like you opened the Info window for the generic URL link icon.
Unfortunately, you can't simply make it the CNN (or whatever web site) icon. You have to find another distinguishing icon. There are web sites where you can download Mac icons. You have to find an icon you like that, for you, will represent that web site link you want to put in your Dock.
http://interfacelift.com/icons-mac/
http://iconfactory.com/home
and some more here
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/
When you find that icon, do a Get Info on that icon file like you did earlier for the URL link file. Put the two Info windows side by side. On the Info window with the icon you like, click on the icon at the top of the window so that it has a thin blue line around it. Copy it, using File -> Copy or cmd-c on the keyboard. Now click on the icon you don't want in the other Into window so that it has a thin blue line around it. Paste it, using File -> Paste or cmd-v on the keyboard. The icon should change to the one you want. If you then drag it (the file with new icon) to the Dock, it will appear as the icon you liked and selected.

Please explain how to remove bottom bar which has icons such as download/options etc

Not sure how to do this have tried various things but to no avail -

Your screenshot shows the about:home page that has a launch bar with those icons.
If the above posted steps to hide this button bar with code in userContent.css are too complicated then you will have to set another page as the home page.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Add code to the userContent.css file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:home) {
#launcher { display: none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

How to modify dock icons to execute additional commands?

I'd like to always start Google Chrome in Incognito mode. In Ubuntu, I'd just modify the Google Chrome shortcut and append "--incognito" at the end. With Windows, I'd just append "-incognito" to the shortcut, and both of these solutions worked for these operating systems...
Can someone tell me how to do this for the dock icon in Mountain Lion?

In Terminal, copy/paste the following:
open -a "Google Chrome" --args --incognito
You could wrap it up in an Automator Application with a Run Shell Script action, or just make it a shell script and make it executable by using the command extension. Copy the following into a Text Editor and save it as text with .command as the suffix.
#! /bin/bash
open -a "Google Chrome" --args --incognito
An Automator application would be less obtrusive as it won't open Terminal first.

Hi,
No need to customize the ibeCCtdMenu.jsp to remove the icons, It is enough to change the Profile option "FND Branding size" to the value "Medium" or "Small".
After changing the profile option value, bounce apache. The links will be dispalying now without icons. Try out this!!

Duplicate Creative Cloud icons in Mac OS X toolbar, how to remove?

Does anyone know how to remove the old Creative Cloud icon from the Mac menubar? Both are there for some reason. The one on the left is a previous design version but if you click update goes to the latest one which is on the right. Couldn't find any solution from Google or searching here.

Follow the instructions below to remove.
I launched Photoshop and chose Help>Updates. This launched the AAM application. Then I clicked Preferences and turned off the option to display updates in the menu bar.
Old updater shows one update, Creative Cloud none

Drag&drop on dock icon (Cocoa)

Hi!
I started to learn cocoa with python and write small application.
I start implementing drag & drop on NSView and it's cool and clear. But I don't understand how to implement drag & drop on dock icon. I tried to implement NSDraggingDestination protocol in application delegate, but it doesn't work.
PS. Application written in PyObjC, but it doesn't matter.
Thanks for advice.

If I understand you correctly you want to open your app to having files dropped on it from Finder? You don't actually have to code for at all - Finder does all the work for you.
In Xcode go to your Project window, click the Targets tab, expand the Targets element, highlight your build product (your App bundle) and hit the Info button.
At the bottom is a list of Document types. This is where you set the document types that your Application will deal with - include custom suffix types that you want to "own" and documents your program wants to handle. You can also register for the types of pasteboards your application will accept when you copy/paste into it from another application.
For good examples check out Sketch and TextEdit in the Examples > AppKit folder and see how those programs are registered for documents.
It's been a while but as I recall this should all you need to do for alert the system that your application deal with that document type. This should cover both accepting dropped documents (notice how some apps accept certain types of dragged documents and others don't) and register you on the list when the Finder does "Open With..." listing of available applications.

How to remove the 'Execute' Icon

Dear Friends ,
Good Morning.
Can anybody know how to remove the Execute Icon?Pls. help on this.

Hi !
Assuming it's a report... you can do the following:
- Create an new "PF-Status" for your report
Use "Extras -> Adjust Template" from the menu
and select "Selection-Screen" from that...
- Exclude all the buttons and functions you don't like
having there
- In your report so something like that:
PBO
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS '1000'.
where '1000' in this example is your new pf-status.
I've done that very often if you'd like to start execution by pressing ENTER.
If you'd like to do somthing like that your coding has to be in "AT Selection-Screen" because there is no "START-OF-SELECTION" when you do not use he "execute" function, wich has the sy-ucomm ONLI.
Hope that helped a bit.
Some points would be nice then...

How to remove dock icon on Mac when main stage is hidden?

I'm trying to implement a "minimize to system tray" functionality, where when the user closes the app's window, it disappears from the task bar and can be retrieved from the system tray. This works great on Windows and Linux, but on the Mac, the window closes, but the app's icon remains in the dock. Clicking on the dock icon focuses the app, but (perhaps unsurprisingly) does not open the window, which is a pretty bad user experience. Opening the window from the system tray works, so if I could just hide the dock icon I'd be there.
I found the undocumented PlatformImpl.setTaskbarApplication(false), but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Probably only does something at launch time.
Bug or feature?
(I'm using the new Platform.setImplicitExit(false) to keep the app from exiting when the main stage is hidden, but I see the same behavior when using the "create an off-screen dummy stage" kludge in 2.1.)

Whatever you did last time didn't work - don't try that again!
Back up everything before you begin.
Bootcamp Assistant (in Applications/Utilities) will remove Windows partitions, however I expect in this state it will remove the Windows 7 partition. It may resolve the issue, but it will delete all the Windows data. Perhaps Bootcamp Assistant does something extra compared to deleting the partition by hand?
If it still has the multiple boot icons you will have to erase the HD completely and then restore your OS and user data.
Do you really want to erase & start over for this minor issue?
