Create a member variable in your class for the icon:

    Icon myIcon = new ImageIcon("my-icon.gif");

Now myIcon should show up in the icon combo box.

1. Load the icons in a separate class. This has to be done almost exactely like this, it seems. The icon variables have to be static, and have to be initialised on the spot, otherwise JBuilder Designer doesn't understand.

        public class Images {
            public static final Icon logo = new ImageIcon(
                Images.class.getResource("/images/logo.gif"));
            public static final Icon pedist = new ImageIcon(
             ... 

2. Link to these icons in the frame/dialog class, by adding members e.g.

        public class AboutBox extends JDialog {
            Icon logo = Images.logo;

3. Now Designer lists the icons in the combobox for Icon properties exactely as you would expect.

This seems to be the way Designer was supposed to be used, but I couldn't find information about it with the Borland search engine.
