Straight to the point im sick of this icon format crap .ico or .icns (w/e its called neither works) is the mac format for icons is it not? then why is it that most .ico (or .icns) icons never work when you assign then to a application, folder or something i havent thought of.
Anyways a simple reason behind this would be nice so if someone could be kind enough to fill me in the secret behind this it would be most apreicated, Cheers 
.icns is the Mac OS X icon format
.ico is the Windows icon format
If you see .icns that should light up the "for Macs" sign in you head. Conversely .ico should connect with the Windows indicator. If you want to use .icns on you Windows machine you have to convert to .ico. Vice versa for using .ico on your Mac.
Also if your using RKLauncher or AveDesk app you can use the windows format or PNG's.
I would imagine ObjectDock, RocketDock Y'zDock can use ico's and png's too.
Sry guys i should have pointed out that im on a MacBook Pro also if it helps i have a copy of Candy Bar
excuse the languge but holly shit it works
its funny i came here today to check for new posts and i happen to think wouldnt it be nice if someone gave me a link to like a widget program where i just drag and drop pngs or w/e onto it and it converts to a format of my choosing and MPS69 dude you just hit the nail right on the head
