As you probably know, the iPhone adds a nice glossy effect to your application’s icon. It sure does look good, but sometimes it just doesn’t suit your icon. It can be prevented by editing the Info.plist file. It’s easy! Follow me.
Click on one of the lines to make the little plus icon appear. Click the plus icon to add a new line.
Give it a key name of UIPrerenderedIcon.
The value is by default set to String, but we need to change it to Boolean. Right-click the newly created line, choose Value Type > Boolean.
The value has now magically transformed into a check box.
Click it!
And you’re done. It’s as easy as that.

Fieldrunners for iPhone
A couple of days ago I purchased the game Fieldrunners (by Subatomic Studios) for my iPhone, and in an instant it became my (so far) alltime favorite iPhone game.
The concept is simple; kill the creeps before they get out of sight. Unlike the popular Flash Elements TD, Fieldrunners take a slightly different perspective and removes the track. The field is left completely open for you to decide where you will place the turrets.
There are already written a few other reviews of the game, so I won’t bother repeating what’s already been written. If you want to know more about the game, have a look at these sites:
There are also alternatives to Fieldrunners, both for iPhone/iPod Touch and your computer;
Convinced? Buy Fieldrunners at AppStore!
