I've created a custom DMG used for manual installation of my app. There are two issues with the resulting DMG. First, the original dimensions of the finder window are not preserved when the DMG is opened on a Mac other than my development machine (where it was created). Second, the background graphic, which is a PNG file, is not displayed. I verified that the PNG is indeed in the DMG volume.
Hi Michael, It's been a long time, but I think the tactic I used was to copy your background image to your disk image and then in a terminal, type: cd disk-image-dir mv background.png .background.png ln -s .background.png background.png Set the background by choosing the background.png file. It will automatically resolve the symbolic link, so then you can delete the link and leave the hidden PNG there. rm background.png Not sure how to make your folder's dimensions stick. Hope that helps, _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
