	#1  joekrahn 11:22 Feb 26, 2005	Here is some source code for improved icon support under Win32 and X11. It is currently written as a Window subclass, and works well (for me) under FTK 1.1.6. I've included the header at the top of the attached source file. Features: Creates plain X11 Color+Mask Pixmaps, or ARGB NET_WM_ICONs when supported. Creates WinXP DIB icons with alpha, or standard DDB bitmask icons. In both cases, the icons are updated for active windows. Win32 note: Documentation states that CreateIcon requires DDBs. I am assuming that pre-WinXP GDI will return unsuccessfully if given a DIB, in which case the DIB is reduced to a DDB. But, this has not been tested. TODO: Some rules for supporting Large and Small icons, and possibly additional sizes. Move some init code, like checking for WM_NET_ICON support, into FLTK's init routines. Mac OSX support; a bit more involved due to icon resource organization. I couldn't find any example code for direct run-time icon building. Look here for documentation: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/IconServices/icon_services/function_group_19.html Have fun, Joe Krahn

	#3  mike 05:10 Oct 06, 2005	Updated this STR to be a priority 2 against 1.1.x, in case we decide to include this in 1.1.7...
	#4  matt 06:50 Oct 10, 2005	Hmm, this is about changing the application icon in the dock bar at run-time, right? This should be really easy on the Mac, since OS X provides two wonderful functions for this: SetApplicationDockTileImage sets the image that is displayed in the Dock, and CreateCGImageFromPixMaps creates the required images from a 128x128 rgb and alpha map. The OS X link you provided works the other way around. It provides image information if we feel the desire to render the default application icons in the FLTK file chooser... .
	#5  mike 04:49 Nov 02, 2005	OK, I'm reassigning this to 2.0; after playing a bit to do the code to support all image types in 1.1.x and to support OSX, it is pretty clear that this will be a major undertaking.
