Iconographer is a nice tool to create icon files. Photoshop or
any other image editor can be used to design your icons. Use a
search engine to find more tools on the internet.

I am late on the thread,
Chipp is proposing to leave his computer at the office and take his

He asked for others' thoughts, and I noted how long large

Hi all,
In the standalone setting for an OSX build, there's a piece of

I don't see anything in the Docs about it. What is this and do I need to

I suspect that the tooltip is not only not terribly helpful but is
also a typo and should be CFBundleIdentifier which is used by the

old, virtually all Mac system 7/8 apps were portable -- it
didn't matter from which location they were run. Then came
