You should actually do these things using commands in the Finder. In the Finder, select the window you want to customize, then press command-J. This brings up the View Options panel for that Finder window. You can change the background image and control text and icon size. That should modify the .DS_Store file & save the image as a hidden file for you. This will not hide the image. You have to hide the image either using the '.' prefix or using the Finder Info hidden flag which can be set with some versions of SetFile (available with the dev tools) [or you can use this tool source http://homepage.mac.com/jrc/contrib/tools/SetInvisible.c]. Some additional points to take into account when using the View options and Finder to set the layout: o If you need to support Mac OS X 10.1, you will have to set the image in Mac OS X 10.1. If you set it on Mac OS X 10.2 or later, when you mount the disk image in 10.1, the background image is not displayed. o If you change the title of the disk image at one point, depending on the OS release, you may lose the background image. o If you need to support Mac OS X 10.1, you will have to bear the fact that the spacing (and sometimes icons size) is/are neither going to be the same for that OS compared to more recent releases. o You have to add extra space at the bottom of the window if you're setting the disk image on Mac OS X 10.2. This is because on 10.3, this extra space is swallowed by the Finder when no scrollbars are to be displayed. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
