Response to: Creating mac icons on a Windows
As far as I know you need Mac's dev tool to do it. However, Photoshop might be able to save to it. I think it's a reasonably open format (derived from PNGs perhaps?) so maybe we could write a cross platform tool that would do it. .... A little research on Google turns up that .icns are actually container files holding multiple icons, each of which can be different sizes. The file format for the icons has not been document by Apple, but it was reverse engineered for the ResCafe project so maybe that would be a place to start. - Joshua - Joshua
