icon change

[bob smith]

I have a Swing app, and I want to change the icon that shows in the bottom bar when it runs.

Anyone know how to do that?

Right now, it's a coffee cup.

frame.setIconImage(image);

frame.setIconImage(image);

Thanks.

That seems to work on Windows, but not on Mac.

I don't know about that particular icon, but in general you change
those sorts of thing by changing the Look and Feel or writing your own
L&F or writing one that modifies another.

That's because the Windows task bar automatically picks up the frame's

icon, whereas the Mac OS X environment uses a totally different

technique. It's picking up the icon of the application actually

running, which is Java itself. To change that, you'll have to learn how

to "bundle" a Mac app.

Yeah, I figured out how to bundle a Mac app.

I guess I was hoping though to have a single JAR file that would be icon-correct on Windows and Mac.

Note that frame.setIconImage(image) also works with most Unix and Linux window managers.
