In order to see the title icon and custom font, you also need to edit your AIR application’s XML file and change the following values:
<!-- The type of system chrome to use (either "standard" or "none"). Optional. Default standard. --> <systemChrome>none</systemChrome> <!-- Whether the window is transparent. Only applicable when systemChrome is none. Optional. Default false. --> <transparent>true</transparent>


I sure can’t duplicate this example (or any other I’ve tried). Do you know if something has changed with AIR 1.5 that breaks this? I created a brand new AIR app in Flex builder (plugin) 3.2, cut/pasted your code, made the two changes to the -app.xml, published it. The only thing I’ve done differently (that I can think of) is to use a different .png file since I didn’t have access to yours.
