Hi there,

you CAN change the application name that associated with the icon, you must
change the rBundle resource in the Finder. You can do this with an Hex
Resource editor (like the one in Foundation or rEdit), the FileName is
stored as an pString, so don't forget to change the lengthbyte. (Or wait
until the rBundle editor for rEdit is ready)
