~pcwiz Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 OK I have a problem with this icon I am using for my app. I used a standard 512x512 PNG with transparency, I copied it and used the Get Info dialog to paste it onto my app. Looks fine in get info: The problem comes when I try to view the app in CoverFlow. Check this, all I get is a big black square: The funny thing is, if I make the window smaller then the icon appears in CoverFlow, but if I make the window bigger I get the black square. Any ideas as to what the problem is? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124851-icon-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloutmacstoday Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You should really do the icon in Xcode! Open icon composer, drag the the .png to the 512 part, and have it resize it for them all. Export to .icns Add it to your project in Xcode then in the target for your project, get info, goto the properties tab, and put the name of the icon file (with the .icns at the end) into the Icon File Field Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/124851-icon-problem/#findComment-882765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks, I am a noob Actually I did do that, my mistake was using a PNG icon and not ICNS.
