Adding a Badge to an Icon in Mac OS X

[bingo]

Hi all,
I have been, now for daysm trying to figure out how to add a badge to
an Icon in Mac OS X. Carbon Icon Services is not documented and I new
to Mac programming. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Look at PyObjC--there should be methods in there to do it.

Kevin,

PyObjc seems to offer the option to add badges to icons in the doc. I
need to add badges to any icon... kinda like SCPlugin and dropbox do.
I think that SCPlugin is doing it through carbon Icon Services. But I
am still trying to figure out how it is done!

Thanks,

Madi

I believe those programs are able to do so because they are Finder
plugins--it's not something that a separate program could do. This
isn't really a Python question, though; you'd probably have better
luck finding answers on a OS X-related list.
