Hello.
I just joined this mailing list - first post.
I’m writing to ask: Is it possible to customize a PKG file to display a
particular branding — fonts, colors, logos — when Installer.app opens the PKG
file and displays it to users?
Specifically:
How to change the PKG file’s default icon (i.e. the ubiquitous yellow-orange
“Open Box Pkg” icon) to, say, an app logo icon, to be shown as a preview in
Finder when the user selects the PKG file?
How to change the background color of the installer window, e.g. set it to all
black or show a custom color, anything other than the default white?
How to change the font of all text displayed while the PKG file is open? This
would include the title bar (“Install App Name”), list of steps in the left
side (“Introduction”, “License”, etc), as well as the headings (“Welcome to the
App Name Installer”, etc).
Would writing an installer plugin make any of the above easier, or even
possible?
The goal here is to customize the Mac PKG file and Installer.app interaction to
look and feel (i.e. in terms of colors, fonts, and logos) similar to the same
app’s Windows MSI look and feel. I.e., this is a branding question, to help
ensure consistency (to the extent possible) of the app’s brand across platforms.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you!
Manavendra
