Which icon are you trying to apply?
the sky is going to crush you.

i have a little bit more: it seems that i can change the dock-icon only to the icons w/out any animations (like glitchium, the ducks...) and that there are problems only with the icons which have animations embedded (milk, iChat AV, Bonjour L'Adium....)

problem solved - i thought the right icon-ending is: .Adiumicon but it is .AdiumIcon

suggestion to the programmers: could you please program Adium in a way that the icon-endings have to be written in lower-case or completely in upper-case?
if you are using a case-sensitive-fs it is really strange to have a file-ending which switches between upper- and lower-case... (and as a unix-switcher it is really weird for me...)

Mixed case is a pretty traditional way of separating words when you can't use spaces.

yp i know, i do it myself all the time - but would never do it with file-endings (and never saw it before with file-endings)
