Re^2: Change default image of Perl/Tk in MAC OS X

See https://metacpan.org/source/SREZIC/Tk-804.033/examples/icon

use Tk;
my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $image = $mw->Photo('-file' => Tk->findINC("icon.gif"));
$mw->iconimage($image);
$mw->iconify;
MainLoop;

If this doesn't work for you report to rt://Tk

Hi beech- Thanks for the reply, and the pointer to Slaven's examples. This particular example you cite, works fine on a PC, but does not work on the Mac. The `iconimage` line should change the title-bar icon to look like what is in `icon.gif`, and have that image used by the window manager when the application is iconified. In either case, the Mac still shows the (seemingly hardcoded) X-windows icon as the title-bar icon, and the dock shows a miniaturized screenshot of what the application looks like, when iconized. Looking through other examples there, I also find the following: https://metacpan.org/source/SREZIC/Tk-804.033/examples/iconimg In this example, each time you hit any of the buttons, the title-bar icon should change to look like the image in that button. This also fails on the Mac. Has anyone ever been able to make either of these work on a Mac, since the dawn of time? If so, please reply here. If not, I'll go ahead and create a bug report.
