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:
http://homepage.mac.com/jonn8/as/html/MenuApp.html
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.
