Need some help with desktop app icons

[CALL-151]

I'm moving an app from mobile to desktop and would like to use desktop app icons. I've created .icns and .ico files using Apple's Icon Composer and pointed LC (5.0.2) to them in the Mac and Windows standalone settings. Standalones build without errors, but have generic icons. I've tried various sizes to no avail. Any guidance regarding specific icon requirements for Mac OSX and Windows would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi CALL-151,

are you building the Win exe on the Mac?
Then the icon will not be displayed!

But should work on the Mac in any case, just did a quick test!?

Building Mac on Mac, Win on Win. I think the problem is with my icons. What dimensions work for you?

The problem is often with the Finder not updating. You can force an update by zipping your app, deleting the original, and unzipping. The Finder will see the app as "new" and look up the icon.

You can also do it with a shell command or in terminal: touch <path/to/myApp.app>

Turns out that the problem is with my stack, not the icons. I built a quick test stack and created a standalone with the icon files and they work. The problem stack is a modification of one I built for iOS. I'll track it down. Thanks Klaus and Jacque for responding so promptly.
