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.
It's -aV - uppercase to set, lowercase to remove. You can also use the UNIX way - call the file .background.png or so. The only problem with this is it can be a bit of a swine to set it in Finder, although if memory serves you can put in the filename into the file dialog and it will find it. I do it this way because up until this post, I didn't realise there were extra file flags :) What I would like to know, is if there is any way to set the background image without having to faff about in Finder - some command line tool, for example. I guess you could make Finder do it with some AppleScript.
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.
Or just copy a file as .VolumeIcon.icns to the root of the dmg :) -- Best regards, Peter mailto:darkmatter@blueyonder.co.uk _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
