Well, a quick perusal of the developer documentation shows this API:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/IconServices/index.html

Looks like this is what I would need to work with in terms of generating
a Tcl/Tk wrapper for accessing system icons, if there isn't already the
capability to do so in Tk Aqua.

Basically, I want to be able to browse a directory, i.e. glob, and
automatically call the correct bitmap as defined for the system for a
specific file or folder. I don't want to do a lot of hacks converting
system icons to .gifs or .pngs, which is what I'm doing now in the code
I'm playing with.

Jim or Daniel, is this something that would be useful? A "TkIcns"
package perhaps? Or is there a way programatically to do this already?


Cheers,
