Hi,
I'm using Icon Composer from XCode 3.0 (Icon Composer 2.0/120).
I'm building an icon for an application, and the application's icon
has some large "hollow" spaces in it. I want these to render
transparently, but to be part of the hit mask for clicking the icon.
I had no trouble importing the visible part of my icon (as a
transparent PNG from PhotoShop), and this automatically built a mask
for me.
Where I'm stuck is in figuring out how to set a different mask. When
I tried dropping both PNG and BMP versions of my icon (with the hollow
areas filled in) into the Masks view, this affected how the icon was
drawn in the Preview -- it's rendering the mask rather than just using
it as a mask...
Sorry if this is covered somewhere, but the Icon Composer section of
the Cocoa tutorial doesn't cover custom masks, and there is no help at
all for the application.
Thanks for any help,
--Mike
