All,
I seem to remember an article on how one can embed a custom grahic in a
disk image. We are doing a drag-install for one of our cocoa apps and
want to have a set of instructions appear as the background of our disk
image (basically the same thing as was done with the OmniWeb .dmg).
Initial searches have come up blank and the DiskCopy app doesn't seem to
have such a feature. Using Finder, one can select an image to use for
the
.dmg window's background, but it appears that only a reference is being
stored in the .dmg rather than a copy of the graphic.
The way I've done it is by copying the picture into a folder on my disk
image, and then renaming that folder to something like
".windowbackground" to make it invisible. Then I can select it from the
Finder view options dialog by typing .windowbackground into the Go To
field.
