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).

>8-bit pixel formats are the easiest to understand. Since its an 8-bit format, we have 8 <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>BitsPerPixel</I
></TT
> and 1 <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>BytesPerPixel</I
></TT
>. Since <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>BytesPerPixel</I
></TT
> is 1, all pixels are represented by a Uint8 which contains an index into <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>palette</I
></TT
>-&#62;<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>colors</I
></TT
>. So, to determine the color of a pixel in a 8-bit surface: we read the color index from <SPAN
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>surface</SPAN
>-&#62;<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
><I
>pixels</I
></TT
> and we use that index to read the <A

>Pixel formats above 8-bit are an entirely different experience. They are
considered to be "TrueColor" formats and the color information is stored in the
pixels themselves, not in a palette. The mask, shift and loss fields tell us
how the color information is encoded. The mask fields allow us to isolate each
color component, the shift fields tell us the number of bits to the right of
each component in the pixel value and the loss fields tell us the number of
bits lost from each component when packing 8-bit color component in a pixel.
