Hi, I'm attempting to associate a home-grown icon with an application that I produced with MegaMax C. I started with the vanilla double-clickable application which had the default application icon. Using ResEdit, I created several new resources in the application file called "arrow": o An ICN# resource, containing my personal icon. In the GetInfo window, I gave this icon a resource number of 128. o A FREF resource containing 1 entry showing APPL and a ResourceID of 128. o A BNDL resource containing 2 entries, one pointing to the ICN# resource with ResourceID = 128 and LocalID = 0, and another pointing to FREF with ResourceID = 128 and LocalID = 0. I then set the BUNDLE BIT using FEDIT and expected (sigh) to see my nifty new icon on the desktop. But, alas, something seems to have other ideas. I compared several other applications which already have icons established with what I had done, and they seem similar or, in some cases, identical. What have I missed?
