This may be only in the 10.1 updater/installer, at least I only remember
it in that one, but there is a really cool effect done in the main
window. It is an image of an OS X CD actually part of the same
horizontal piping as the back of a cocoa window, but the color has been
blended into it. Does Apple publish how they achieved this effect?
The thing that's really neat about this is that it is visible through
the second semi-transparent view that the progress bar exists in. I
assume that such an effect can be accomplished by setting the background
color to partial transparency. But how I "melt" an image into the
background piping? Or is the whole background a custom image, and the
blend performed in Photoshop or the like?
