How can I change the icon on the Terminal app on Mac OS?
I can change the icon on other apps but I can't change it for the Terminal.
I tried to change the icon for the Terminal app without success.
It requires admin authentication, but I'm using an admin account, can I change it?
You can make a copy of the Terminal app, place that copy inside /Applications. Perform the icon change on that copy and rename the copy to something like "MyTerminal" so that you can tell the difference in Spotlight.
I'am creating a Mac OS application in which user will choose a font to display a text. All fonts will be in an application folder in finder. I need a code (swift or objective-c) to load it directly (without installing) to Xcode so user feel free to add any font to the folder to use.
iPad Pro requires 167x167 App icon and 2732 x 2048 (landscape) launch image. But where should I put them? Xcode 7.1 Asset Catalogs don't provide any place to add iPad Pro specific icons or images.
My launch image is size specific, so using storyboard for this isn't a good option.
Apple commented on this issue: "Latest beta (7.2b3) added 83.5#2x app icon slot to asset catalogs, and Developer relations reported in a radar comment that they no longer support launch images and will not be adding the iPad pro launch image size to asset catalogs."
Taken from here.
Use Launch Screen storyboard.
You can also disable Launch Screen File and Launch Images Source from project General settings and use the old way - define all Launch Images in Info.plist.
Info.plist:
<key>UILaunchImages</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>UILaunchImageMinimumOSVersion</key>
<string>8.0</string>
<key>UILaunchImageName</key>
<string>DefaultPro-Landscape</string>
<key>UILaunchImageOrientation</key>
<string>Landscape</string>
<key>UILaunchImageSize</key>
<string>{1366, 1024}</string>
</dict>
...
</array>

How do I create launch images for iPhone 6 / 6 Plus Landscape Only Apps?
You should use Launch Screen Files for iPad Pro instead of Launch Images.
First, from iPad Pro, iOS don't support Launch Images, so you can not find the right sizes for iPad Pro's launch images in Xcode 7.1.
Second, if you don't use Launch Screen File, you app running on iPad Pro will be scaled, which is so called 'Display Zoom'.
It looks like you'll need to use the Launch Screen storyboard or xib file to support launch screens specific for iPad Pro.
Per Apple, you should be able to use both the launch image assets to support pre-iOS8, and the Launch Screen file for iOS8+. From the Apple App Distribution Guide :
"For iOS 7 deployment targets, you can supply both a launch screen file and launch images. In iOS 8, the launch screen file is used, and in iOS 7, the launch images are used."
also these docs state:
"If you also need to support earlier versions of iOS, you can continue to supply static launch images in addition to a launch file."
However, in my case even though I have a LaunchScreen.storyboard file, it isn't getting used when I have launch images in an asset catalog. i.e.: I always see the asset catalog launch images instead of the launch screen. I verified the Launch Screen file is set in the info.plist and that it has the "Use as Launch Screen" flag set. I'm also using size classes and auto layout.
If you don't find the "wells" where to put the icons in asset catalogue, perhaps you changed your App settings from iPhone to iPad at a later point and then the iPad "wells" are not visible. You can turn them on by doing this:
The set will only contain image wells for icons that are relevant depending upon your project's configuration at the time the asset catalog was created. If an image well is missing, expand the settings inspector and check the appropriate boxes under the App Icon pane depending upon your project's deployment target and supported devices.
I have created .icns using .iconset for my Mac app,containing all sizes of icon recommended by apple. But still I cannot see my app icon when I install and launch my app on Mac osX 10.5
Following Apple's current guidelines and using their latest toolset will give you icons that only work in newer versions of OS X. To get a set of icons that includes larger (#2x retina) resolutions and 10.5 compatible image formats, you need to use Uli Kusterer's oldiconutil.
Also, please see this related question--sometimes icon file sizes can be too large for 10.5, and require extra image compression.
Is it possible to display an icon on the AIR Application Installation Screen?
I downloaded an AIR application, and I was surprised to see an icon on the second installation screen.
When you purchase SSL certificate and make air application build with that certificate, then this icon is showed during installation.
In your main-app.xml config file look for the <icon> tag and set an image file for the <image128x128> tag relative to your src folder eg.
<icon>
<image16x16>/assets/icons/16x16.png</image16x16>
<image32x32>/assets/icons/32x32.png</image32x32>
<image48x48>/assets/icons/48x48.png</image48x48>
<image128x128>/assets/icons/128x128.png</image128x128>
</icon>
These different sizes cover you for different eventualities such as OSX dock, XP quick launch and also for the installer.
