I’m able to use ico files on mac fine for dock icons using SetIcon on wx.TaskBarIcon, but the icons are looking pixelated and I’m guessing that’s because I should be using the native icns format for my icons (maybe not?)
I’ve created icns files but I don’t seem to be able to set them view the SetIcon method, i get
File “/usr/local/lib/wxPython-unicode-2.8.12.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_windows.py”, line 2154, in SetIcon
wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion “icon.Ok()” failed at /BUILD/wxPython-src-2.8.12.1/src/common/dcgraph.cpp(144) in DoDrawIcon(): wxGCDC(cg)::DoDrawIcon - invalid icon
Is there a way I can get vector or non-pixelated icon for my app?
I’m using a .icns file on my Mac application and it works just fine. Maybe your icns file isn’t compatible (how did you generate it?) or there was a bug in that version of wxPython. I’m on version 2.9.3.1

have you checked your ICNS file via Apple's icon composer?
Loved or hated - it is a small program which comes w/ the developer
tools and helps w/ icns files.
You can either provide ONE image of 128x128, or 4 images in
16x16,32,x32,48x48 and 128x128.
The main problem, I guess, is that Apple allows PDF files w/ vector
parts, from what i recall wx's Icon-treatment cannot handle internally
(though you can always try py2app's icon option).
My suggestion: give the icon composer a try and see whether the main
issue is the resolution of the image(s) you are feeding it with.
Usually 128x128 is more than enough ...
Cheers

I made my icns files with icon composer, I can put them in with py2app ok.
and I guess I dont need to set icon again through wx? as it would be the
same icon. Just wondering if I'm not running from py2app how I can get it
to overlay the python icon. Maybe it is the version of wx I'm using
(2.8.12.1) that's causing the issue, I'll have a play

I'm using a .icns file on my Mac application and it works just fine. Maybe
your icns file isn't compatible (how did you generate it?) or there was a
bug in that version of wxPython. I'm on version 2.9.3.1
I made them with icon composer, I'm on wx 2.8.12.1 so maybe that's this
issue?

You mentioned using SetIcon, but in my application (which works with an
.icns file) I am not using such method.
Indeed -- as of a couple years ago, wx itself had no way to work with
OS_X *.icns files -- so in your wx code, you needed to use another
format, and then use py2app (or something else) to assign the *.icns
file to your app, in the OS-X way.
a bit awkward, but that's what we've got.

In my python file for using py2app, I've set the following:
Where PLIST is another dictionary of things that shouldn't matter for an
icon. Then, in setuptools.setup() I've passed:
options={'py2app': OPTIONS}
These are the only things related to the .icns file in my application, and
the icon works for me.
