Fixed bug #208 So, here's a patch with a reimplementation of QZ_SetIcon() that does what I described above. I apologize for the delay, I've been quite busy in the last few days. It appears to work here on 10.4.5 PPC in the limited testing that I've done; I'll try to test it on 10.3.9 and 10.2.8 as well, but that might take another week or so. Please test on i386. Regarding alpha channels, per-surface alpha, and color keys, the same semantics as for regular blits to an RGB surface should apply (for the final icon composited onto the dock), unless I made a mistake - except in one pathological case: if the icon surface has an alpha channel, its SDL_SRCALPHA flag is not set (i.e. it has been explicitly cleared, since it's on by default for RGBA surfaces), and it has a color key, plus an explicit mask was specified (instead of the one autogenerated from the colorkey), then the color-keyed areas appear black instead of transparent. I found no elegant way of fixing this, was too lazy to implement the inelegant one, and decided that it isn't worth the effort (but if someone disagrees, I can do it).

Wish list for the 1.3 development branch:
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/

 * Add mousewheel events (new unified event architecture?)
 * DirectInput joystick support needs to be implemented
 * Be able to enumerate and select available audio and video drivers
 * Fullscreen video mode support for Mac OS X
 * Explicit vertical retrace wait (maybe separate from SDL_Flip?)
 * Shaped windows, windows without borders
 * Multiple windows, multiple display support
 * SDL_INIT_EVENTTHREAD on Windows and MacOS?
 * Add a timestamp to events
 * Add audio input API
 * Add hardware accelerated scaled blit
 * Add hardware accelerated alpha blits
 * Redesign blitting architecture to allow blit plugins

In the jump from 1.2 to 1.3, we should change the SDL_Rect members to
int and evaluate all the rest of the datatypes.  This is the only place
we should do it though, since the 1.2 series should not break binary
compatibility in this way.

Requests:
 * PCM and CDROM volume control (deprecated, but possible)
