There is one thing that is puzzling me now... I am trying to make my own icon for an application that I wrote. I know how to do this (with MPW & Rez, etc.), but there seems to be a problem with "installing" it. The first time I built the application with the correct signature, etc, the icon came up on the screen nicely. Unfortunately, I want to modify this icon. It seems that the mac system (maybe the Desktop file) is refusing to forget the original icon, and no matter what I set it to, the original is still used. I am using system software 6.0 - is this a bug? Or am I not doing something??? Any help would be appreciated. Inside Mac does not go into much detail about the finder interface.
