I did a search in the forums for this, Found nothing, so if it's a repeat, just post a link to the original thread.

Is there a way to hide an active app's icon from the Dock and/or the cmd-tab app switcher? I've been using Launchbar, and I like it, but I HATE seeing it's icon. If I could hide the icon while the app is running, I'd be more inclined to continue using it.

That page says it doesn't work in Panther. I tried it anyway, and no go. Any other suggestions?

ok, i found how to do it on the launchbar faq. you have to move the app after your modify it. Something about how 103 caches the app icons.

whatever, it works now.
