Create icns file for deployment

[drewhannay]

Deploying the app on a Mac requires us to have a .icns file to be displayed in the OS X System Dock. Currently our application uses a grainy version of our white king image, but someone creative should come up with a better image (must be original...no stealing from Google Images).

I see an icns file and have no way of knowing if/that it doesn't work. Closed?

I'm working on a gradle build script right now, so hopefully I'll be able to test this when I get that working

[drewhannay]

Gradle scripts are in, but this case is still pending while I wait on a fix for a bug in the macAppBundle Gradle plugin. Once that's resolved, I should be able to make several improvements to the gradle script that creates the Mac app

Okay, so I think there was something wrong with the icns file that we had. I created a new one, but I didn't make all the different required image sizes. So this will definitely still need some work. There's instructions here (the only relevant part is the image sizes needed). Once we have all the needed images checked in, we can create a new icns file by running iconutil -c chess.iconset on a Mac. It'd be nice if we had an original image to use as well, instead of the current White King image

Currently the windows tray icon is just the home page image. I can get you that one in the different sizes if you want to use it. Do we have someone who is a graphic designer who could make us some images and maybe a background? Otherwise I'll try to work on something.

We don't have a graphic designer, so if you want to try to make something, go for it.
