First, use
CGWindowListCreateDescriptionFromArray()to get the PID of the owning process (kCGWindowOwnerPID). If this is 10.6, you can then use+[NSRunningApplication runningApplicationWithProcessIdentifier:]to get the application object and then use-icon.Before 10.6, you need to use
GetProcessForPID()to switch to a PSN, useGetProcessBundleLocation()to get the location of the bundle, switch the FSRef into a path string, and then use-[NSWorkspace iconForFile:]to get the icon.
