The icon represents my app. The icon is placed under the Appearance-Icon property for the App The mask is completely black. The Image, Mask, and Preview all look correct. The size I'm using for the Image and Mask are identical. Is there a size limit? 256x256 has worked for my other programs. I've changed this translucent icon to 128x128 and it now appears okay when downloaded from a Mac. I need to download it from a PC for a final check. If 128x128 does work, then why did 256x256 not work?
