First, thanks Brandon for creating this site.
I have been doing the tutorials (have done the first 3 today) and am really having a blast.
I am a bit of a newbie, so excuse the following question if it is a dumb one.
How do I turn all the white icons for the completed tutorials into cool looking
Home Screen Icons. I tried doing it in Dashcode but it seems like that is for
web apps not iPhone 2.0 apps. Am I wrong about that?
Thanks,
Dave Alexander

Really? They named it icon composer? How obtuse. LOL! How'd I miss that? Thanks crazyiez.

I don't actually know whether Gond was asking for an actual TOOL to create an icon as opposed to how app icons are handled in the process. As you already pointed out Icon Composer I'd just like to add how to actually ADD an icon to your application:
- Right-click the Resources folder in your project > Select Add > Existing Files… and select any 57×57 pixels image (PNGs work best).
- Open the Info.plist file (Property Editor will open up).
- For Icon file simply provide the exact name of the image you've added.
Note: You don't have to create your icon including the top glossy part, iPhone's SpringBoard will automatically add it to your icon.
Hope this helps,
Ralf

Thanks to both of you! I was able to create icons in Icon Composer…then I went to the Apple site to find out how to “attach” them to the blank icon in the simulator and their page-long instructions just left me puzzled. Ralfs simple 1, 2, 3 did the trick, perfectly. Thanks!
