Jasper,
Have you tried adding the LSUIElement in the info.plist of your
app? Just add it at the bottom within the <dict> tag right from Xcode:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>
Then rebuild your app. That should make your application a
background process with no menubar or dock icon. You can also edit
the 'Launch Service User Interface Element' (LSUIElement) of any
built application by showing the package contents and then editing
the info.plist. Your changes come into effect the next time you
launch the application.
Also, If you want your app accessible from the right side of the
menubar (i.e. with iChat, Classic, Languages, Clock, etc.), Jonathan
Nathan has an example AppleScript Studio app here:
Notice, however, that this is not a 'Menu Extra,' it is a
NSStatusItem; meaning that you cannot change its position in the
menubar, and a few other things.
Hope that helps,
Ryan

Hi list,
is it possible to run an ASS app in the background (without the app
icon being displayed in the Dock)?
If not, is there any way to run it in the menu bar?
TIA,
Jasper.
