Vitamin-R 2 Help

  Vitamin-R 2 Icon   A. Running Vitamin-R as a "Dockless" Application
 

Vitamin-R can run in two modes: as a standard application with Dock icon and as a "Dockless" application that only appears in the main menu bar at the top of your screen. By default, Vitamin-R runs as a "Dockless" application.

In "Dockless" mode, you can activate Vitamin-R by clicking on its icon in the main menu bar (over near your system clock) or by executing the ⌃ R shortcut on your keyboard. You won’t see a Vitamin-R icon in the Dock, and the application won’t appear in the application switching list made active by the ⌘⇥ keyboard shortcut. The gear/cog menu at the bottom-left of Vitamin-R’s main window replaces the normal application menu bar in most respects, and is accessible by right-clicking or ⌃-Clicking the Vitamin-R icon in the main menu bar.

Most users will prefer this mode of operation, as it makes the application much less intrusive than a full application with all the trimmings would be.

If you would prefer to use Vitamin-R as a full application with a menu bar, Dock icon, and appearing in the ⌘⇥ application switcher, proceed as follows: ® ⇒ Settings ⇒ Run as Full Application. You can switch back to Dockless operation at any time by repeating this process, this time choosing Run as Dockless Application.

Please note that the current Mac App Store version of Vitamin-R does not support "Dockless" operation. This feature will be added in subsequent updates, subject to approval by Apple.
