Description Eric Zimmerman CLA 2006-10-25 16:50:33 EDT 
The current Program.getImageData() only returns a single 16x16 image for an application.  There should be an API to get the entire set of images associated with an icon on the platform.  Possibly returning an ImageData[]

Windows and Mac platforms support multiple Icons embedded in the application icon.  The current Macintosh Implementation already has all of this information, but just extracts out the 16 x 16 image and returns it, when there is a beautiful 128 x 128 icon just waiting there for our use :-(

As we move to higher resolution monitors and better video display in general, this type of information becomes critical to make our application look good :-)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Sure would be nice if someone took this on finally...
