This is valid for the icon you use 'in the Finder' and when you launch
the app, 'in the Dock'. If you want to change the icon in the Dock while
running the application (for example to tell the user there are
messages, etc), you'll need a tiff file and do something like that:
displayImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithSize:NSMakeSize(128,128)];
backgroundImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[self
bundle] pathForResource:@"withalpha" ofType:@"tiff"]];
[backgroundImage setScalesWhenResized:YES];
[backgroundImage setSize:NSMakeSize(128,128)]
[displayImage lockFocus];
[backgroundImage compositeToPoint:NSMakePoint(0,0)
operation:NSCompositeCopy];
[string drawAtPoint:NSMakePoint(10,40) withAttributes:[NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObject:[NSFont menuFontOfSize:34.0]
forKey:NSFontAttributeName]];
[displayImage unlockFocus];
[NSApp setApplicationIconImage:displayImage];
Have fun!

The icon image will typically need to be saved as a tiff so that you
have transparency... then use the iconComposer application (in
/Developer/Applications/) to create an .icns file for it. Then add the
.icns file to your project in ProjectBuilder and set it as your
application icon in the bundle settings page.

Hello,
This is probably a very simple and stupid question, but I am new to Mac
development and Cocoa. I am using Interface Builder to build my
application's user interface. I see the standard application icon
provided
to me by the IB but when I double click on it I can not edit it. The
Info
window just pops up.
How do I change this icon to an icon I have designed, and what image
type is
it?
Or is it like Windows and a proprietary bitmap format?
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Will
