Greetings,

Is the .icns icon file supported in PB for OSX?

Thanks,
-Garrett

yes, but only for the bundle icon. You can use the '-n' flag of the commandline compiler.

I was hoping to use it with the ImageGadget.

Unfortunately not, you can't use png instead ? I will take a look to this image format to see if it's possible to support it. BTW, no need to put '[Open]' in a topic, it makes the title topic a bit wierd .

I was trying to make an auto hide program launch bar and wanted to
use the icon of each app as the button image.

The dock is cool and all, but It gets cluttered real fast if you put all the
apps you would use on a regular basis on it.

Using some menu bar setup usually is a bit of a pain in the rump, so
was going to just make a bar on the side of the screen.

I've got the auto hiding part working (with the exception of activating
and focusing on the window when the mouse is over it).

-Garrett

btw, you had gave it a try to the transparent API ?

Yeah, kind of wanted to make sure that when the topic has reached an
end, that I put closed or resolved so people don't waste time on a dead
topic.

I'll skip the Open part.

No, not yet. My luck with OSX api calls hasn't been the greatest thing,
I couldn't even get the cut, copy and paste api calls to work. ;-(

But since you asked, I will try the transparent call.

Thank you Fred,

the cut/copy/paste is way harder than this one, so crossed fingers
