Hi all, especially Fred! I'm working with Gregory to unify the various code paths in GNUmail to support Icon Drawing with the notification. Currently there are three code-paths: 1) GNUstep only, which has custom controller & and iconview 2) MacOS (supported on all mac versions, but now used only 10.4): getting the application icon, drawing on the badge, setting the icon 3) on MacOS 10.5 and up, NSDockTile and setBadgeLabel
The main distinction happens in update:. first step, would be to remove GNUstep specific code and support setApplicationIconImage: The relevant code is here: https://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnustep-nonfsf/apps/gnumail/Framework/GNUMail/ApplicationIconController.m?revision=881&view=markup If I remove the ApplicationIconView code (especially in init line 301-302) thins do not draw on GNUstep. IN essente the code boilds down to: 1) get the image through image = [NSImage imageNamed: @"NSApplicationIcon"]; 2) lock focus) 3) draw the badge stuff (but could do whatever) 4) unlock focus 5) set the application image Debugging a little with Gregory, we came to the conclusion that the image gotten back is not modifiable. perhaps its NSImageRep is immutable while it should be not?
