I am wondering what is involved in adding a flag (like the little red ball
on Mail.app that tells you how many messages you have) to an icon in the
Doc.

The terms "Flag" "Doc" and "Icon" do not result in a very focused search.
Is there some other term I should use, or better yet a pointer to a
resouce that goes into this?


Last I heard--I seem to remember reading it in John Siracusa's review of Panther at ArsTechnica--even lower level programmers didn't have access to update Dock icons like that. However, the current OmniWeb public beta posts notifications on its icon, so either that was never true, it's changed, or Omni is working around it. Wow, wasn't that helpful?
