We set the background to bottom-left and that way if it grows it still looks right. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: installer-dev-bounces+adampeck=smarttech.com@lists.apple.com [mailto:installer-dev-bounces+adampeck=smarttech.com@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Iceberg-Dev Sent: Friday, July 31, 2009 6:34 PM To: Tim Murison Cc: Installer Dev Subject: Re: Package Maker background color On Jul 31, 2009, at 6:54 PM, Tim Murison wrote:
Hi,
I am setting a background image to my installer packages. Sometimes the installer resizes its windows and when this happens, I can see the background color which is not the same as my image.
Is it possible to set background color in Package Maker,
No, it isn't possible.
if not, what size do I need to make my image to ensure that it will always cover the entire background of the installer window (I do not want to it stretch out of proportion).
If you're building packages for Mac OS X 10.4 or later, there is no solution to prevent resizing (both automatically by Installer.app and manually by the user). If you can live without a background color, try an alpha image. IMHO, background picture with a color are not a good idea in most cases because it can make it more difficult to read the steps on the left or the contents of the pane on the right.
