How do I set an icon for my application as well as for files created by
my application?

The first one took me a while to work out, but it's actually simple when you've done it once...

1. Get an icon file - if you haven't got your own you can test this recipe by "borrowing" some icons from your favorite application. Just look in the Contents/Resources directory of its package.
2. Drag it into the resources folder of your application within Project Builder (not sure about how it works in X-code as I haven't got 10.3).
3. Open up the Targets view of your application and find the entry with the name of your app (should be near the top). Then scroll down to find the "Application icon" entry and type the name of your icon file. A little copy of the icon should appear in the box on the right to let you know you've done it right.
4. Clean the target (an option under the Build menu).
5. Compile as usual.

Sometimes I find I need to log out and log in again for the icon to be displayed. Not sure why.

As for the files, if your application is document based then just do the same for the Document Icon under the targets view. I don't know how to do it if the app isn't document based. I asked on the list once but received no reply...

Hope this works.

Matt
