LiveCode Forums.

I saw a few discussion regarding the tray in Windows, but didn't see anything about OS X. When I minimize my standalone app it is choosing a (seemingly) random icon to represent the app while in the dock. Is there a way to specify?

Thanks

Hi Brian,

It should use the icon of your standalone. I have never seen random icon in the docs.

Kind regards,

Mark

Well that's not good news for me then! It looks like it is trying to, but it has one of my button icons over the top.

Hi,

You really should provide more info if you want help to solve this. What have you tried to get the correct icon to show up in the dock so far?

Mark

I have not tried anything because I am not aware of any way to address it. I see in the standalone settings where I can set the icns and ico, the ask/answer icon (all work fine), but I don't see anything for this situation.

Hi Brian,

quick guess, do you have these lines somewhere in your scripts:
...
set the icon of this stack to XXXX
...
## or
set the icon to XXXX
## instead of:
## set the icon of BUTTON X to XXXX
...
that would explain what is happening

See the "icon" entry in the dictionary. You can set a global icon that specifies what should be shown in the dock:

set the icon of this stack to "12345"

Thank you so much everyone. I could not find anything in my scripts, however it's completely possible that I made the error Klaus stated at some point. So I picked something more representative and assigned the stack icon to it.

Thanks again all.

Brian
