Heh - "... some way to change another applications icon ..."
Changing has all those issues attached. Viewing on the other hand is
easy.
As Uli mentioned, NSWorkspace should be all you need simply to get
a copy of the icon. The bundle stuff is only necessary if you want to
get at the file itself (say, to modify it :-)).
Would there be any problems (legally or otherwise) with doing this?
You seem to know about these issues a lot better them myself...
Best answer: I don't know for sure. Note the use of "IANAL" (I Am
Not A Lawyer) and "might be". :-)
In the US, distributing software that modifies third-party software
is uncomfortably close to the fence of a number of copyright laws and
regulations. It's something any independent software business owner
should be aware of. Again, this is from the perspective of a US
citizen; it may be a non-issue for you, but you should definitely
consult a lawyer before distributing such an application. That's all I
meant to say.
This discussion, however, is off-topic for cocoa-dev, so I'll leave
it at that. I suggest the "macsb" group on Yahoo Groups.
