Hi Guys,
I was just wondering if I could create a program that doesn't appear in the taskbar. Basically a program running in the background.
Many Thanks,
Googie.

Any LiveCode standalone can be run facelessly from the command line with the -ui flag, e.g.:
MyProgramName -ui
You'll want to handle the startup message in the stack script as your entry point for execution.
I love using LC in Terminal. Do you mind if I ask what you're working on?

If I remember right, setting the stack mode to "modeless" prevents it from showing in the task bar.
