Application Switcher: no icons for open applications.

After updating to OS 10.6, when I use the application switcher (command + tab) no icons appear for the applications I have already opened. I have only finder icon.

HI,
Delete this file.
com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
Drag that file form the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.
Anothere user reports restarting did the job. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10117564&#10117564
If deleting the finder.plist file didn't help.. delete this file also.
com.apple.dock.plist
Found this also... Snow Leopard 101: Application Switcher Exposé

On page 49,IOS5 it shows an icon for opening multiple pages. I can 't find it.

How do I find it?

Safari on iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing, not thumbnail/page browsing as on previous iOS versions. Tap the '+' on the right-hand end of the tab bar to open a new tab - you can then use the 'x' on the left-end of each tab to close them.
I assume that you are looking at an old version of the manual and not the iOS 5 version - you can download a copy of the iOS 5 version from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad

Use a customized TreeCellRenderer:
    class Renderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
        public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree,
                                                      Object value,
                                                      boolean sel,
                                                      boolean expanded,
                                                      boolean leaf,
                                                      int row,
                                                      boolean hasFocus) {
            super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(
                            tree, value, sel, expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
            setToolTipText(expanded ? "Click to view subprocesses" : "Click to view process");
            return this;

     private Icon projectOpenIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/book_open.png");
     private Icon projectCloseIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/book_blue.png");
     private Icon folderOpenIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/folder.png");
     private Icon folderCloseIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/folder_closed.png");
     private Icon fileIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/document.png");
     @Override
     public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean selected,

               if(openIcon != null) {
                    if(obj instanceof LProject) {
                         openIcon = projectOpenIcon;

}Thank you.

Hi all,
I changed my code a bit knowing that the renderer is global to the tree so my (openIcon == null) is called only once for the first node.
Here is my new code :
public class MyTreeCellRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer {
     private Icon projectOpenIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/book_open.png");
     private Icon projectCloseIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/book_blue.png");
     private Icon folderOpenIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/folder.png");
     private Icon folderCloseIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/folder_closed.png");
     private Icon fileIcon = new ImageIcon("icons/document.png");
     @Override
     public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean selected,
               boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
          super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, selected,
                    expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
          LogescoTreeNode node =
               (LogescoTreeNode)value;
          Object obj = node.getUserObject();
          System.out.println(obj.getClass().toString());
          if(obj instanceof LProject) {
               this.setIcon(expanded ? projectOpenIcon : projectCloseIcon);
          } else if(obj instanceof LFolder) {
               this.setIcon(expanded ? folderOpenIcon : folderCloseIcon);
          } else {
               this.setIcon(fileIcon);
          return this;
     }

Double click on systemtray icon to open application possible?

I developed an AIR application that works in the computer's
background. It opens when the user has received a new message. With
a right mouse click on the system tray icon of the application a
menu appears with "open" and "close" links. My problem is that the
habit of most users is to double click this icon to open the
application, which does not work. My question: Is there any
possibility to attribute an action to a double click event on the
system tray icon?

I'm finding the exact same problem. Adding a listener for '
MouseEvent.CLICK' on the system tray icon seems to work, but
MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK' fails to respond.
Is this 'as designed', or is it a feature we can expect in
future releases?

How to set the icon for the entire application with JFrame.setIconImage

I set the icon on the main frame using JFrame.setIconImage(). The icon is shown properly in the main frame.
If more JFrames are opened from the main frame, the newly opened JFrames also show the icon.
However if JDialogs are opended, in some cases the icon set on the main frame is shown and in other cases the coffee cup.
What is JFrame.setIconImage() expected to do? Setting the icon for a single JFrame or the entire application?
How can I set the icon for the entire application?
How can I set the icon for JDialogs?
Thank you

In order for your dialogs to use the same icon as the frame, you must parent the dialogs to the frame which has the custom icon.

Create a custom dock/application icon for .jar files built in eclipse

I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure out how to apply a custom icon to jar file that I created in eclipse. I am presently using eclipse v3.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have yet to find a way to change the java coffee cup logo in the document icon for my jar files created in eclipse. Is there some way I can call a specific Apple class in Eclipse to change the dock/application icon of my .jar file?
I found this link that uses a class that seems to be specific to XCode to change the icon of the .jar file.
What I mean by change the icon of the jar file, I mean change the icon used in the dock, and also the icon used when the "command+tab" switcher pops up. Presently, I have the black console icon with the text "exec" in the upperleft.
If anyone has any good links on this topic or even better knows the code I need insert into my program I would be highly greatful.
cheers

Why are so many app icons either pixelated or missing? No photo thumbnails in Photoshop CS6 and missing icons for newly installed applications.

Even after a clean install of new applications and permission fixes and disk repairs, this problem persists. Apple must have changed some specifications for thumbnail icons in Mountain Lion. This is a particularly frustrating problem with Adobe Photoshop CS6. If you attempt to save a CS6 file in any format, the thumbnail image icon just disappears or appears dark, with no image visible. I have spoken with both Adobe and Apple about this and no one seems to want to accept responsibility, but I'm beginning to believe the issue is with Mountain Lion, as I did a clean install of a Mountain Lion friendly and compatible app today and the end result was that there is no icon for the application. The application will run, but you cannot see an icon for it in the dock, only the name. This is absurd! Seems like paid "upgrades" are now becoming downgrades. At least that's how I feel when I actually lose rather than gain functionality.

this is happening to me too. if i create a photoshop jpeg file it has no thumbnail icon. the file seems to be there by name only?

Hi,
Try this ... reboot your Mac and see if double clicking works again.
Also, you can just select the Application you like to open and hold down the Command+O to open.
Also, did you check your setting for the mouse in system preferences.

How to define the application to use for opening each file type (pdf, jpg,...)

I installed an external application, and this new application has been configured by defect that it will be used to open all files with extensions like jpg, pdf, etc...
I want to revert this situation and define again the proper application I want to use for opening each file type. How can I do this in Lion?
Thanks,
Azaldier

Pick a representative file.
Get info. (Command-i)
There you will see a place "Open with" where you can select the application for that file.
Hit the "Change all..." button to do this for all files of this type.

Modifying destination Directory of Application server for Open Hub

Hi All,
i want to load a csv file on application server using Open Hub.
when i have created the open hub i have specified the server name, the file name and the directory.
but the Basis guys told me that i should use another directory, they have created me a Unix Directory but the problem that i can't modify the directory path in my open hub.
can you tell me please what is the problem?
another question why i can't modify directly in Production System this parameter of server name, directory for open hub,
in production i can create the open hub but when i have transported some one from dev to prod i can't modify in prod, i have controlled from transport tool the possibility of modication object and i see that for opne hub is "original modificable"
Thanks for your help
Bilal

i have read in some forum that to " to change the server name or logical file name we can do so in the following table:
RSBFILE"
i tried to see the data of this table and i found 2 records for my open hub, 1 for Active version and 1 for Modified version
i tried here to change the path name of the directory and after saving the system give me the message that the active version and the modified version of my open hub are not equal, when i try to activate again my open hub the system take the old
directory path.
is this is the right table to change the directory path on application server of my open hub? or there is another table?
i don't work with logical filename, i work with file name and directory path name.
thanks for your help

Mail default applications for opening attachments

I recently had to install Open Office in order to be able to open those kinds of documents produced by my colleagues. The only problem is that it now becomes the default application for opening .doc, .xls and .pps documents. I have changed this using command+i on each type and making sure I selected the "change all" so that each app opens under it's appropriate iWork program, but I still have a problem with Mail.
In Mail, if I get a .doc attachment, clicking on it automatically launches Open Office. Worse, when I right-click and choose "open with", Open Office is listed twice at the top of the list!
I loathe Open Office with a passion, not least because of this situation, but also because it frequently crashes and is still bound to using xterm. Nevertheless, I have to keep it as my colleagues are all on Ubuntu Linux and insist on using it for spreadsheets (to be honest, Open Office is okay on Linux).
If only iWork apps could open OpenOffice documents... ah well.
Any solutions would be most welcome!

Here's how you can set your preference for which application to use on a given file type:
1. select a file of that type
2. press CMD-I to bring up the file information
3. Click on the little triangle to expand the "Open With" section
4. Select the application you want to use for that type of file
5. Click on the "Change All" button
This has worked for me in the case where I have Parallels Desktop installed and it wants to use my Office 2000 installation under Parallels to open MS Word & Excel attachments. I changed these to be opened by NeoOffice, and it works both from the finder and when opening attachments in Mail.
I hope this helps...

Custom Icon for application file

I can make director allow me to have a custom icon for appliacation file.
In director I have attempted this several times where I have tried to have my appliaction file have an icon. I have purchased two icon program Candy Bar and Fastincs trying to remedy this problem.
As you see here I am using an ins file created in Fastincs. Now here is an image to the path and the icon itself Applipcations/ Adobe Director 11/3 HorseLogo.mac.ins
So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
then I drag my icon file in
The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
If I use Candy bar (icon application) I get a different result. The icon works
in both finder and on the task bar
This is exactly what I want.
I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program I am using BitRock. When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
If I choose ignore the install continues. But I have no icon.
I am desperate , weeping , screaming , and almost a lost cause, any help any help at all I could really use.
Thanks
Robin aka innish

Hi Robin,
I'm more of a PC person rather than Mac. I would recommend you look at the Resource and Icon Editor page at:
http://collab.directorforum.com/Resource_and_Icon_Editor
It may fix your icon issue from Director.
