Adding custom applications

To customize a new application, open the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences and click the Applications tab.

Click the Add Application button, select the application you want to customize in the displayed dialog and click Add. Alternatively, you can also add applications by dragging them from the Finder or from the Applications panel to the Applications list.

Now customize the application by selecting the desired options.

Select the Do not activate at launch checkbox if you want your custom application not to become active when it is opened using Application Wizard.

Select the Hide at launch checkbox if you want to hide your custom application when opening it using Application Wizard.

Select the Hide at launch checkbox and check the Other applications radio button if you want to automatically hide all running applications when your custom application is opened using Application Wizard.

Select the Do not hide on Hide Others checkbox if you want to prevent your custom application from being hidden when you choose Hide Others from the Switch menu.

Select the Do not hide in single application mode checkbox if you want to prevent your custom application from being hidden when single application mode is turned on. Tell me more

Select the Do not add to Recent Applications checkbox if you want to prevent your custom application from appearing in the Open menu's Recent Applications submenu. Similarly, select the Do not add to Recent Items checkbox if you want to prevent your custom application from being added to the Apple menu's Recent Items submenu when it is opened using Application Wizard.

On Intel-based Macs, if your custom application is Universal (i.e. if it runs natively on both PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs), select the Open using Rosetta checkbox to force your custom application to run using Rosetta when it is launched from Application Wizard. Tell me more

On PowerPC-based Macs running Mac OS X 10.39 or 10.4, if your custom application is a Mac OS X application which also contains a Mac OS 9 executable (i.e. an application which can run both on Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X), select the Open in the Classic environment checkbox to force your custom application to open in Classic when it is launched using Application Wizard.

Then click OK.
