This should (have) work(ed) ever since the Mac got the ability to cut and
paste icons--System 7.1, maybe--or 7.5.
The drawback is that the icons are not attached to your application in the
"right" way. A user could get info on your application, click on the icon,
cut, and the standard MetaCard icon would show from then on.
Does choosing an icon file in the MetaCard standalone builder get the job
done?
I've only done this a few times without SuperCard's help, but it involves
opening the application in resedit and changing the bndl resource, if memory
serves. The desktop file also enters into the picture: if you choose one
icon and creator code for your application, and then decide to use another
icon but the same creator code, you will likely need to rebuild the desktop
to see the new icon.
