I have a separate .nib module that contains a panel. I want to make that panel's miniwindow icon the same as the icon of the application into which it is linked. What's the recommended way of doing it? So far, I have considered: 1. Parsing the __header section of the __ICON segment to find the name of the icon associated with "app", and using that as the parameter to -setMiniwindowIcon:. 2. In the part of the application where the icon name is "known", store it for the benifit of other modules. For example: in NXApp's delegate's -appDidInit: method: [[NXApp appIcon] setMiniwindowIcon:"TheIconName"] and in the panel's +new: method: [self setMiniwindowIcon:[[NXApp appIcon] miniwindowIcon]] 3. Composite the rectangle {9.0, 9.0, 48.0, 48.0} from [NXApp appIcon] onto a bitmap and give that bitmap's name to -setMiniwindowIcon:. Any suggestions?

The Application object will create a bitmap named "app" that contains the application's icon. Thus you can always get to the icon image with [Bitmap findBitmapFor:"app"]; Ali
