[wxPython-users] 2.8.1.1 icon problems on OS X

[Daniel Graham]

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clearer. The behavior I expected was for
wx.ICON_INFORMATION, wx.ICON_ERROR, wx.ICON_WARNING and so forth to produce different
icons in wx.MessageDialog. This is still the behavior for 2.8.1.1 under Linux and I'm
virtually certain was the behavior under OS-X until the last upgrade. Now all produce
the same icon, either the rocket when run from the command line or the message pole
when run from the bundled demo.  I'm wondering how to get the Linux behavior under
OS-X.

Thanks,
Dan
