ICNS Overview

ICNS files are unique image files which are used in Mac OSX Applications. ICNS files are displayed in an Applications Title Bar, on the Desktop and in the Mac OSX Dock. ICNS files are also used in Mac File Explorer to identify specific applications/files.

With Zinc™ v2, you can add a custom ICNS resource to your Mac OSX Application to completely brand your end project. ICNS files must be created using an ICNS designer and must conform to standard ICNS specifications. The Free Developer Tools from Apple include a ICNS Composer.

Notes

ICNS files are specific to Mac OSX Only.
