[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #195 Odd menubar behaviour

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

Hi Chris,
this is not an Alpha bug, but rather a new behavior of the system. As you may know, an icns file contains different versions of an image at different sizes and depths. My guess is that Mojave (OS X 10.14) expects to find 32 bits icons and your icns files do not contain this size. I have just checked (out of AlphaX) for the fileset and oztex icons (the oldish ones). Both icns files contain only the following sizes:
```
ics#	16x16 1-bit mask (32 img + 32 mask)
ics4	16x16 4-bit icon
ics8	16x16 8 bit icon
```
Your BibTeX icns file on the contrary probably contains a richer set of sizes out of which Mojave can pick something. I would have to look into this file to tell more.

Since upgrading to  OS X 10.14 .1 a few days ago I am see a very odd behaviour in respect of custom menu icons.  It is illustrated in the attached pdf file.  The missing menu icons are for the Open Windows , filesets and LaTeX menus,  I have in the ~/Library/Application Support/Alpha/Icons folder  new (well, old actually) icons for each of these menus and also for the BibTeX (which somewhat paradoxically appears in the menubar.  For what  it is worth , the icon files that I was using, but  aparently am no longer using, were the older coloured icons for fileset.icns, openWins.icns, and the earlier, happier, original OzTeX icon for oztex.icns that I recovered from an earlier version of Alpha (or AlphaX, or AlphaCocoa, as the case may be).  Removing the Icons folder  from the path listed above and re-starting Alpha does restore the drabber replacement icons that I am trying to replace.  However, this customization method had been working so I hope that it may continue to do so.

Cheers, Chris.
