I've got an applescript dialog something like this:

Code:
display dialog "change made. relaunching finder..." giving up after 1

the idea is to tell the user, but not to get any input from them, and not the let them think that I need any input from them either...

I want to get rid of the buttons on the dialog. is there a good way to do so?

Not sure of the answer, but how do you plan to get rid of the dialogue without user input?

That's what the "giving up" argument does -- the dialog dismisses itself after the specified number of seconds.

Also, I don't think AppleScript provides a way to display a dialog with no buttons. I'm not an expert, but I don't think there is one. I'd just make a dialog with a single "OK" button as is standard for informational panels like this.

You can add the 24U Appearance OSAX from 24U Software. Take a look at the variety of interface options it gives you.

You can't get a dialog with no buttons, but you can define only one button. What I've seen done for cases like this is to create a single button dialog with a bullet (option-8) for the button title. That is a hint to users that pressing the button is 'meaningless'. Like this:

display dialog "foo" buttons {"•"} giving up after 1

While it might not work in your case, AppleScript Studio can do this sort of thing.
