Is there any new info on this topic? We've run into problems setting custom backgrounds on 10.6 even for use on 10.6. We've seen several variations on the steps, and none of them are working for us. We've tried setting the image using the view properties (cmd-J), we've tried setting the background using code like this (from a script posted by Paul Sanders: mkdir "/Volumes/$vol/.background" cp install_resources/DMG_background.jpg "/Volumes/$vol/.background/ background.jpg" echo ' tell application "Finder" tell disk "'$vol'" open set theViewOptions to the icon view options of container window set background picture of theViewOptions to file ".background:background.jpg" update without registering applications delay 5 end tell end tell ' | osascript If we set it manually through the view properties it shows up--but only until we unmount the image. Then it's gone when we remount it. If we set it using AppleScript while we're building the image it looks like it works, there are no error messages and all the files are there on the resulting image, but no background image shows up. We've tried a couple of commercial disk image builders, and both of them had the same problem on 10.6. BG images weren't just missing on earlier versions of the OS, they weren't there on 10.6 either. I've seen several discussions about this on the web, but none of them have had a resolution. We've seen different variations of "Build your disk images on 10.5", but since our main build depends on Xcode 3.2, this isn't really an acceptable solution. If we can't build proper images on 10.6 even for distribution on 10.6, then something's screwy... Hoping we've missed something obvious, Background for Disk Images are broken, kaput, par terre in Snow Leopard. As soon as you set a background picture on a disk image in Snow Leopard, the nightmare begins. The background picture will not show up on Mac OS X 10.5 most of the time. Sometimes even setting it later on 10.5 will change nothing. And if you set your background picture on 10.5 or earlier, you will need to take into account a different margin at the bottom of the disk image. Disk Images are nice but they suffer from a lot of issues when it comes to background pictures, icon alignment and icon view mode. On some occasions, when working on disk images, stay far away from the walls or you could hurt yourself. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
