Hi All,
Your answer might be here:

It seems like that is an option programmers can use to denote a hidden
program that is still running in the dock.

Hi Bob,
You appear to be getting the same effect as I do. I have the
Audacity Icon permanently in my dock, so when you click the red
button it stays there, but shows invisible.
I have placed a picture on my hostsite web page that shows what is
happening in the dock. It is at:
"http://www.members.westnet.com.au/cmclenna/picture%201.png";
This is not a show stopper, but more trying to understand what is
going on.
with thanks ... Clyde

Hi Clyde,
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you are wanting answered here ...
are you referring to 'Invisible' as in Unix-style invisible files
such as ".DS_Store" & ".localized" files ... or are you concerned
about the buttons Red, Yellow & Green (close, minimise, zoom
buttons)?
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronnie,
I understand what you are saying, and effectively that is what I
do. But what is the 'invisible' stuff all about, and why do these
programs utilize this feature etc?
with thanks ... Clyde

Hi,
I am puzzled why some programs (like Audacity & Filezilla), when
you close them down using the little red button on the top left,
they go to 'Invisible' in the program dock menu for that
program. (I hope that is clear).
I'm wondering several things:
(a) What does 'invisible' mean (not to be confused with
invisible files which start with a fullstop)
(b) How do you make the program un-invisible (i find I have to
'force quit it in the dock, and then restart it).
(c) Is there some way I can stop programs from going
'invisible', when I really want to stop (ie, disappear
altogether).
Hello Clyde,
Don't just 'close' the application's window by clicking the red
button .... Quit the actual application.
Either by going to Menu bar at top of your screen click on the
application's name then scroll to Quit (Application's name).
Or click & hold on it's icon in the dock & go to Quit.
Then the Application quits & it will disappear completely.
Cheers,
Ronni
