Re: launchApplication

I don't know for sure, but I am afraid this (showIcon:NO) support was broken
when app icons were moved from the original miniwindow shape to the current
Dock ones. The changes if I understand correctly are _profound_ (eg. the app
icon is no more a NSView accessible from your app, which is quite bad :( ),
and this might be just one of many effects.

You can change your application icon from your app. If you used OS X you would no doubt notice this. Several built-in applications do it, including Mail and Internet Connect. Perhaps you should actually use OS X before making suggestions like this which are so blatantly wrong on an OS X list (or in fact any list).

'Nough Ondra bashing now!

What Ondra said, was that the app icon was no more accessible as a _NSView_ under OSX. That is entirely true, since the API for setting the app icon is:

in NSApplication--------
- (void)setApplicationIconImage:(NSImage *)image;
- (NSImage *)applicationIconImage;

I thing that all debates here, seem to side-track into some discussion where carbon advocates fight against OO/Cocoa advocates, and that is AFAIK not what the lists are for (especially not this one, since it is made for people who already settled for Cocoa, and apparently decided that it met their needs.)
