Dock vs. App
I reported this one recently ... bug 169631 (but you have a nicer screenshot :-) NB this is configured in the PDE launch; the runtime mac also has smaller fonts: bug 169632 Both can be fixed by e.g. -Xdock:../Eclipse.app/Resources/Eclipse.icns and -Dorg.eclipse.swt.useSmallFonts or some such (see bug 169631 and bug 169632 for exact deatils) We noticed that the good icon is being displayed until the application starts when it changes to the old icon. It seems the workbench is taking an icon from the platform plugin and using it. We probably never noticed it before since the launcher was a separate process and the docking bar would show the icon from the launcher process. This is the case. This should be simply a matter of updating the icons in the platform and SDK to have 64 and 128 pixel versions that look as we expect. Tod, what is the requirement for Vista icons? Vista supports icons up to 128px right? *** Bug 173764 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The java launcher usually handles the -Xdock:icon properly (and -Xdock:name) properties. Because we are no longer using the java launcher on mac, we need to handle these ourselves by setting the system properties APP_ICON_<pid>=... APP_NAME_<pid>=... where <pid> is the result of the system call getpid(); (In reply to comment #5) > This is the case. This should be simply a matter of updating the icons in the > platform and SDK to have 64 and 128 pixel versions that look as we expect. FYI, I believe I heard in the WWDC keynote that Apple was asking developers to start shipping 256 pixel icons as well but I can't find anything to back that up online. In the release notes for Tiger[1] Apple refers to 256 pixel support. [1] http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/GraphicsImaging/RN-ResolutionIndependentUI/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001374-DontLinkElementID_9 The launcher has been fixed and is now setting the APP_ICON_<pid> and APP_NAME_<pid> environment variables. The icon is staying as the nice one. Kim, I'm giving this bug back to you in case you want to update the icons in the platform and sdk. I'm not going to have time to look into this for 3.3. Our icons are showing up as we expect. Marking as WORKSFORME. |
