making icons for os x

Icon Composer basics (summary: make a photoshop file w/ transparency, put that in each size-slot in Icon Builder), then you also need icns2icon. In Icon Builder you paste/import in the different sizes of icon images and click areas, and it produces a .icns file (which itself has a generic icon. this file is used in stuff like xcode "projects" etc.). icns2icon generates an icon you can use in the finder from that icns file.
