(And will this color be the same across OS versions 10.4,10.5 and 10.6 (etc.)?) That's a thought. Do any of the supported graphics types allow saving with a transparent background? If so, I'll see how that looks. (Although, I'm not sure it will look as nice as white.) Yes, compressed tiff supports transparency, and most all the Apple installers with custom backgrounds (iLife, for example) use that format. The iLife 08 installer was pretty keen because it had a "tall" image that showed more of itself when the window grew. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
