Textfield BorderColor bug..?

The striped background won't appear on a stack that is set to topLevel. 
It has to be modeless, modal, or palette (and the background pattern must 
be set to empty).

I have the same experience, but I just take my icon file (which has the 
icon as *its* icon), open it in Get Info, select the icon, choose Copy 
from the Edit menu, open my rev app, select it's icon, and choose paste. 
This sets the application icon to my icon.

I think the runtime engine is about 2.4 megs. Do you have extra items 
included that you don't need in your app (printing, internet, icons, 
dialog boxes, etc.)?
