Question

I have a window with some content that could be previewed, mailed,…

I decided that the best way to do this is to put appropriate application icons in toolbar, namely from Mail, Preview,…

Trick is, how to do that? Is thee any way too access other’s application package and have access to its icon? Or is there any other elegant way?

Answer 1

Code:

// Get icon
NSImage *theIcon = [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] iconForFile:@"/Applications/Mail.app"];

// Display icon (irrelevant in your case)
[theIcon setSize:NSMakeSize(128, 128)];
[theImageView setImage:theIcon];
