12.8. Application Icon and Caption

Symbian OS associates an icon as well as a caption with your application. You can supply an application caption and one or more icon bitmaps to represent the application by including a special resource file known as a localized application information resource file (typically named <application name>_loc.rss). If this resource file does not exist, then the system uses a default icon and caption for the application.

This section provides only a brief introduction to using localizable application information files to supply your application with icons and captions. You should refer to the SDK documentation for more detail, as well as examples.
