- I use the routine "LaunchApplication" to start another program from our
- main application. Everything works fine except for the fact that the
- Finder does not graphically display the launched program as running, i.e.,
- its icon doesn't assume that fuzzy look. I wonder if and how this could
- be accomplished.
-
- The OS otherwise does recognize the association between the icon and the
- process: when you double click the (non-fuzzy) icon, the running process
- is just brought to the foreground; but the icon is still not made fuzzy.
-
- Thanks a lot. Since I don't have access to news right now through my own
- account, I'd appreciate it if you could mail a response to
- rbrown@math.utexas.edu.
