I know you can make an application run in the background by opening the package and finding info.plist then editing the line below <key>NSUIElement</key> from <string>0</string> to <string>1</string>. But what about those apps that won't let you show package contents? Like the ones that you right click on and they just don't give you that option? What makes an app not give that option (is it because its carbon!?!?) and is there any way to make it run in the background? I have some apps that do nothing but run in the background, but they were not written too well and as a result waste space in my dock (hence why this is in gui customization)

I believe some RB apps don't let you show their contents.

I agree. Most RB apps aren't packages, as well as poorly written carbon apps made to run on OS 9 and OS X.

You might be able to open the app using ResEdit (in Classic) or Resourcererererererrer and edit a 'plst' resource. I've never actually seen an app that has this, but I've heard that they exist.

The 'plst' resource is the equivalent of the plist file.
