Application icons

More detail to come but basic idea is:

• Create a new resource with ResEdit
• Use ResEdit to create a BNDL
• Add a signature (4 letter string) to identify your app
• Add a new file to the BNDL of type APPL, double click to edit
• When done return to the “root” of your resource in ResEdit
• Go to File -> Get Info for [your resource]
• Set the Type to APPL
• Set the Creator field to match the 4 letter string signature you added for the BNDL

Use DeRez to decompile the resource file you created into it’s source form.

Modify or re-create the Makefile in MPW to include the decompiled resource in the Source Files list.

If the icon does not show up (after recompiling), try right clicking the application and Get Info -> General Information. If it still does not show up then you need to restart Mac OS, once you see the “Starting up…” message, hold CMD + Option until it fully boots, accept the prompt to rebuild the desktop.
