Desktop apps

Pokémon Showdown for desktop is made with node-webkit.

There's an .ico icon (for Windows) and an .icns icon (for Mac) in the graphics-src directory of this repository. We use these pretty much whenever we need icons.

Note that node-webkit doesn't support normal window icons in Windows, so we have to use a PNG icon to get scaling not to look horribly ugly.

Packaging

node-webkit's wiki contains packaging instructions, but they're strewn across their wiki and don't really go into best practices, so I have better packaging instructions here.

For performance, we don't zip up the package on either platform. In Windows, the index.html and package.json files are dropped directly into the node-webkit directory, and in OS X the files are dropped into Resources/app.nw.

Packaging for Windows

  1. Put a copy of node-webkit (build or extract the prebuilt binary) into this folder.

  2. Rename nw.exe to pokemonshowdown.exe

  3. Edit pokemonshowdown.exe with Resource Hacker, and replace the node-webkit icon withicons/pokemonshowdown.ico

  4. Using NSIS, build pokemonshowdown.nsi

Packaging for OS X

  1. Get a copy of node-webkit (build or extract the prebuilt binary)

  2. Rename it to Pokemon Showdown.app

  3. Replace Pokemon Showdown.app/Contents/Info.plist with the Info.plist in this directory

  4. Replace Pokemon Showdown.app/Contents/Resources/nw.icns with the icns file in graphics-src.

  5. Create a folder Pokemon Showdown.app/Contents/Resources/app.nw and put index.html and package.json in it.
