Nick,

This question has been answered in the past. <http://cocoa.mamasam.com> is a searchable list archive for Cocoa-dev and macosx-dev.

You can construct the disk images in the finder, using the folder background feature (cmd+J will reveal the inspector). You put the background on the disk image and select it. Then you make it invisible, using SetFile or some resource editing application.

Another way is to use FileStorm from Mindvision. It is a great program which will let you do the work once, in their application and reuse it for each release. Creating disk images is very error-prone and takes a lot of time to get right at each release. FileStorm makes it a breeze. It is shareware, but not that expensive (I seem to recall $45...).

I know that this is OT (although packaging is a part of software development)... anyway, to the point:

How does one create custom .dmg packages. By "custom" I mean with background images, specific window sizes, etc. Omni, for example, packages their software downloads in this way.

Thanx!
Nick
