How do I implement an icon to a Linux/MacOS application? I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find any links or clue about this discussion.

Thanks Derron, I was thinking more of an example perhaps like using bmx, or do I also compile it to .o and then Import?

No for Mac it's an image format you use a program to make it, in Linux it's a text file linking to a png. MacOs Using an .icns file Creating an app for distribution Linux Program icon on Linux Blitzmax launch icon and register file extension?
