<UIPrerenderedIcon> in info.plist doesn't do anything

Question

I'm trying to replace the Icon of an app I like and I did but iPhone (iPhone 4 32bg 4.0.1) keeps adding a black background and a gloss to my new icon!

I've edited 'info.plist' on user\application*app folder AND var\mobile\applications*app folder

and added = true

Take a look on this image : http://i56.tinypic.com/8x635u.jpg

alas, no change upon respringing!

Answer 2

Are you on iOS5? iOS5 introduced a new structure within info.plist for pre-rendered icons.

The relevant key for iOS5 is (note the UIPrerenderedIcon key within the PrimaryIcon dictionary):

<key>CFBundleIcons</key>
<dict>
    <key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key>
    <dict>
        <key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
        <array>
            <string>ipad icon a.png</string>
        </array>
        <key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key>
        <true/>
    </dict>
</dict>
