Your problem is most certainly either that the OS has a cached version of the icon in the LaunchServices cache, or there is a problem with the plist.

Suffice it to say, I had to study this problem at great lengths. In fact, one of my debug builds looks exactly like your picture. I believe in that case the OS is pulling the 'old' classic icon set out because the new icon is not in the resource bundle.

The launch services cache is:

/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore

You'll want to delete that file, and there might be another one in your user folder. And then log in and log out.

If you goog on Launch Services cache you'll find a bunch of useful stuff.

I hope this is the correct forum to post to as i haven't found one yet and . I have created an Icon with the IconMaker that uses a 128X128, 32X32 and 16X16 image. when the app is loading (bouncy icon) it shows up fine however, once the app loads it show up in the tray as:

<Picture 1.pdf>
the grey portion is distorted and there is a white background <this should be crisper grey and obviously not a white background>
The file types that i used are .png (with no background) for the various sizes of the icon and the .app shows the 128 icon correctly as well as any aliases that are created from it. Icon composer version is: 1.3 (v15). i as well had a 48X48 but took it out as i tried to follow what others (mail.app) had done. has anyone else experienced this? i am on 10.3.9


am i in the wrong list? if i am could someone point me to the correct one?

thanks,
