panoramaappvisibility
panoramaappvisibility
MODE

The panoramaappvisibility statement allows the Panorama X dock and menu bar to be hidden.

Parameters

This statement has one parameter:

mode – the visibility mode to be used, either `"NORMAL"` or `"NODOCK"`.

Description

This statement allows the Panorama X dock and menu bar to be hidden. This example removes Panorama from the dock.

    panoramaappvisibility "nodock"

Running this statement makes Panorama completely invisible, it doesn’t appear in the dock, it doesn’t appear in the Command-Tab application switcher, and all windows disappear. However, Panorama does continue running in the background, and you can control it via Apple Events. It also appears in the Activity Monitor.

To make Panorama visible again, use this code:

    panoramaappvisibility "normal"

Note: At the time this documentation page was written, making Panorama visible again does not work due to an Apple bug. So once you make Panorama invisible, there is no way to make it visible again. This is useful for Panorama Server, but probably not for any normal Panorama applications.
