Stadalone Icons

[Scott Morrow]

Hello Karen,
In the Standalone Applications Settings window there is a place to  
select the application icon.

In OSX I find that the icon resource(s) (.icns file that you should  
have created with iconBuilder) is not always placed into the bundle  
when the standalone is built. They are easy to copy in by hand,  
fortunately.

Right (Control) click the application bundle and choose "Show Package  
Contents"

Open the "Contents" folder  and copy your .icns file into the  
"Resources" folder.

In order to make the Operating System update the icon I find the  
easiest method is to "Duplicate" the application in the "Finder" and  
the duplicate will then have the correct icon.

If you aren't building for OSX then let us know what platform.
