Hi ALL,

         I'm new to DMG/Installer stuff in Mac. I've created a DMG for my application in the  following manner.

cd MyDMGFolder

cp $StagingArea/Myapp.pkginfo .

hdiutil create -ov -srcfolder . MyApplication.dmg


 Now i want to apply background to my dmg folder once it gets mounted. And also want to apply icon to my DMG.


        Can any one provide some pointers on achieving this functionality.

        Please help me to solve this. Thanks in Advance.

Background picture -> View Options in the Finder:

1. Copy the background picture file to the Disk Image

2. Use the View Options inspector to set the background image.

3. Make the background image invisible with the /DevTools/SetFile utility. The most difficult part here is to remember whether it's v or V that makes a file invisible.

Icon -> Get Info Window in the Finder:

1. Select the mounted disk image volume

2. Choose File > Get Info

3. Click on the icon zone in the Info window and copy and paste your icon

A better solution could be to use Pixadex to set the icon.
