Making an icon (.icns)

[C++ Programmer]

I want to use a stnadrd JPEG file as the basis for an app's file/dock
icon./ how do I do this??

[C++ Programmer]

I have an icns file that shows all of the various sizez using Icon
Composer. I used PB to change the Target entry to use the .icns file.
But, fter rebulding the app, the app's icon is still the generic icon.
I have tried to flush the OS X cache, and have logged out & in and even
restarted but I still get the generic app icon.
any ideas?

Icon Browser seems to show a valid icns file.
Can I get an .icns file from an existing app and ise it?? Or one of
Icon Factoy's icons??

thanks

Try selecting Build -> Clean from the menu in PB? Then build your app
the normal way, the app's icon should be the one you specified after
that.

You have to specify which icon file to use in the Info.plst file. You do
this by clicking on the 'Targets' tab in PB and doing what comes
naturally. :-)
