# Add custom applications

With Application Wizard you can customize the behavior of applications.

## To add a custom application:

1. Open the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences and click Applications.

2. Click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the list, browse and select the application, and click Add. Alternatively, you can drag the application from the Applications panel or from the Finder to the list.

   Use the Applications panel

## To customize the behavior of an application:

- If you want the application not to become active when you open it, select the ”Do not activate” checkbox in the ”At launch” section.

- If you want to automatically hide the application when you open it, select the ”Hide application” option in the ”At launch” section.

- If you want to automatically hide the other applications when you open the application, select the ”Hide other applications” option in the ”At launch” section.

- If you want to keep the application visible when you choose Hide Others from the Switch menu, select the ”Do not hide on Hide Others” option.

- If you want to keep the application always visible in single application mode, select the ”Do not hide in single application mode” option.

  Single application mode

- If you want the application not to appear in the Recent Items submenu of the Apple menu, select the ”Do not add to Recent Items” option.

- If you want the application not to appear in the Recent Applications submenu of the Open menu, select the ”Do not add to Recent Applications” option.

- If the application contains both a 64-bit and a 32-bit executable and you want to force it to run in 32-bit mode, select the ”Open in 32-bit mode” option.

  Force applications to open in 32-bit mode

Important: Custom behavior of applications is limited to Application Wizard. If you want applications to open in a custom way, you must launch them with Application Wizard. Similarly, if you want to keep applications visible when you hide the other applications, you must use Application Wizard’s Hide Others command.
