So I have an application thats constantly running on the desktop.

When an application is running, it shows up in the dash. I would like to hide it in the Dash, so in the Dash it looks like that it is not even running. Is this possible?

To make it easier to understand, open terminal and run: sudo nautilus

It opens nautilus but is nowhere on the Dash. I would like to do the same thing to a specific application.

  • Unavoidably, running applications of the current user's x-session with a window appear in Dash, unless you unmap the window. Is it important the window is visibly present? Dec 14, 2016 at 21:49
  • The thing is that I have a dock at the bottom. Im using a W7 VM as seamless mode in virtualbox. I made the startup script so far but the vbox icon is on the dash which I dont want.

  • Would a shortcut key to toggle visibility be an option? Hidden means it would also not show an icon. Dec 14, 2016 at 22:12
