Hello Everyone,
I am a newcomer to Revolution and the list. I am making small
drill standalones for my computer lab. I have looked and searched
for instructions on how to make the standalone app display a
custom made icon, but can't seem to find it. I have created the
icon files in PhotoShop using IconBuilder.
Is there a website anyone would recomend that addresses this or
could someone please help me with this.
Karen,
Be sure to visit Chipp Walter's tutorial on standalone building at
http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/RunRev/Tutorials.htm . It
contains a good section on creating application icons.
Several people her, including me use a PhotoShop plugin called
IconBuilder, which gives excellent results. You should also be
aware that on OS X there is a little quirk with Rev standalone app
icons, in which the icon doesn't appear immediately, even when the
icon has been properly placed into the app bundle Resources folder.
What I always do is launch the new standalone--you'll notice that
the proper icon does appear in the dock, even though it's not yet
visible in the Finder. Then quit the standalone, click its icon in
the Finder and open the Get Info window. Then click on the icon in
the info window and press the delete key. The new icon will appear.
Forgot to mention that this quirk only happens on the machine you
build the standalone on. If you copy it to another Mac the icon shows
up immediately.
