I highly suggest you do more than just slide your image over an image  
in one of these projects.

You need to change the app extension and map your own extension on  
windows.  You need to build vms with your own icons included in the VM  
on windows.

On the Mac, you need to supply your own icons and edit the plists so  
that they point to your own app's identifier, icons, get info data, etc.
