Date: Sun 08-Aug-1989 13:18:26 From: Unknown Subject: a dumb question This is dumb question: How do I get an application to use the icon that I want it to? In the few applications I've built, I set the icon name (including .tiff) in the proper place in the project, and yes, it is also set in the Makefile APPICON (or whatever), but no matter what I do, I always get the standard application icon. Even applications I get off the net, and even the ones in /NextDeveloper always come up with the standard one rather than the one specified. Any ideas?

Drop the executable in ~/Apps, do "Find Tools" from the Workspace "Utilities" menu, and see if it works. This question came up about 2 weeks ago; I went into more detail back then as to why the icons are so picky about showing up. Search for an article entitled "Questions on IB use" (or something along those lines)... Ali Ozer, NeXT Developer Support aozer@NeXT.com >From: carlson@mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu
