MAC OSX: Remove Roboform Icon From The Menu Bar

If you have Roboform running on Mac, it lunches Icon.app which resides on your menu bar. If you delete the Icon.app, every time Roboform is launched, it will recreate Icon.app.

To remove Icon.app or stop running it, open your terminal and execute the following:

  • cd ~/Library/Application Support/RoboForm
  • chmod u-x Icon.app/

MAC OSX 10.7 10.6 10.5 -Hide the Dock and Menu bar on a per-app basis

To hack an app so that when it's active, the menu bar and dock are hidden, you need to find its info.plist file. Control-click on the program in question, choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu, and then navigate into the Contents folder.

Once there, add the following to the file:
<key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Be sure that it goes in alphabetical order, otherwise it won't work (i.e. LSUIPresentationMode goes after LSMinimumSystemVersion but before NSAppleScriptEnabled). Save the file and enjoy.
