User-perspective question about code signing Mac apps (non Mac App Store)

I am trying to understand what end-users will experience if I codesign
my Mac application. I have a certificate labeled/from "DigiCert High
Assurance Code Signing CA-1" which we bought and use to sign our
Windows product. This avoids the Unknown Publisher warnings on
Windows.

I got Xcode to sign our Mac version of our app using the same
certificate. I was kind of expecting the first time launch warning of
"<your app> is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you
sure you want to open it?" to go away, but I still get the warning.

If I tamper with the resources in the bundle, the app fails to launch
so it appears to be signed.

So I'm wondering what kind of things I should expect when I sign my app.

Thanks,
Eric
