Right, it wouldn't. gRevAppIcon is a LiveCode global variable that the 
dialog stacks access. Since it's a variable, it needs to be set in a 
script. Usually that's done as part of a mainstack initializing handler.

It isn't linked to the app icon, it's a LiveCode image. Import the icon 
image into your stack and set the variable to the image ID. It behaves 
like any button icon.

Since it's just an imported image, generally it's made in an image editor.
