Works in Carbon too!

What I did - (to get rid of dock icon for PiDock)

make a copy of PiDock.
Open ResEdit (works just fine in Classic)
Open PiDock in ResEdit
Open the plst resource
To the right you see scrunched up xml. Select one of the key/string pairs that's there including the "^" delimiter and paste it in next to itself.
change the value of the key element to NSUIElement
change the value of the string element to 1
save it, close it, launch it.
Voila. No dock icon.

In Jaguar, they have apparently changed the plist item named NSUIElement to LSUIElement. Although NSUIElement still works, you should begin to switch to the new terminology.

Does this still work in Panther? I've tried setting NSUIElement and LSUIElement to 1 in wClock's Info.plist file, and wClock still shows up in my dock.

The NSUIElement works with wClock, but I had to log out and log back into my account before it would hide the dock icon.

The only thing was that I not only lost the menu bar but I lost the ability to call up the calendar as well.
