'About this Mac' Graphics

[Puttabong]

Please don't hesitate to post your About This Mac Graphics into this thread :)

[roisoft]

Me second :D

The image has unfortunately been removed by the image hoster.

[Puttabong]

Hehe, very nice!

[jshanh]

Heres mine, kinda simple, but its for the kids. :)

[Puttabong]

jshnanh, I think that you should really make that graphic transparent, so the white spot around the graphic dissapears!
If you can't do it yourself, send me your .tiff, and I'll fix it for you.

Greetings

[jshanh]

Hey Thanks a ton!! I was wondering how to do that. Do I need to use photoshop or something?
Ive got all the graphic software i will never need :)
Ill give it a try, and if no go, Ill send you the .tiff file, Thanks Puttabong.

[Puttabong]

Yes, I use Photoshop CS3.

No problem, glad to help. :)

[jshanh]

Yea! I did it. I forgot to check the "save transparency info" when saving the tiff,
Thanks for the help.

[Puttabong]

@jshanh:

Btw, you can make perfectly nice screenshots like mine (which include the shadows),
by using the following simple keyboard commands:

command+shift+3 -> Full screenshot
command+shift+4 -> Crosshair to allow selection of screenshot area
command+shift+4, then spacebar -> Camera to capture specific screen object

I chose the last method of these for my Screenshots. :)

Hey DoiX!
Nice graphic ;-)
I think it's made by yourself, isn't it?

BTW: We've got the same processor type ;-) A3200 forever!

@ Puttabong:

Couldn't you create a little program which looks like the 'About this Mac' window, but with an drag'n'drop-field for graphics? It also but contain the function to auto-insert the CPU name (which is maybe changeable with an text field). This prog could be placed with Marvin's AMD Utility in a folder 'AMD Utilities' in the Applications folder. And someone else could create some nice 512x512 Leopard icons for the additional Tools.

[Firewalk]

Hi rfuilrez, any chance you posting your apple amd looks nice..

To change the 'About This Mac' Graphics, go to
/system/library/coreservices/loginwindow/contents/resources

Once you are there, replace MacOSX.tif with the new one (the name must be MacOSX.tif).

[FoneBone]

did anyone of you had to change some .kext-files to enable "About this Mac"-dialog?

[Puttabong]

Very nice, roisoft. :)

[xan]

i want to make my whole leo black / dark. how?

[roisoft]

navigate to /system/library/coreservices/loginwindow/contents/resources/"your lenguage" and just replace the folders , log-out and log-in, that´s all it´s very easy .

[xan]

roisoft, i did this, but this change only some windows. is there a way to apply a theme or something like that?

[Morgenstern]

thanx

[Puttabong]

Hehehe, nice Specs modifications Morgenstern :D

[DoiX]

loool nice lanxxx very nice :)

[megaargon1]

Do you know how I can change my info and logo on the About-this-mac graphics? I mean, is there an easier way? Please let me know. Thanks.

Easier way than what?

[cgsheen]

megaargon:Do you know how I can change my info and logo on the About-this-mac graphics? I mean, is there an easier way? Please let me know. Thanks.We could all come over to your house and DO IT FOR YOU!

[Ianxxx]

megaargon:LOL LOL LOL IMAO, I just have to say, that made me laugh off my seat.

As I was saying, if there is a software utility that can do this for me. According to another thread, I noticed that users had to edit a few strings here and there, and I am not up for that especially with this kind of Mac.

cgsheen: megaargon:Do you know how I can change my info and logo on the About-this-mac graphics? I mean, is there an easier way? Please let me know. Thanks.We could all come over to your house and DO IT FOR YOU!
Changing one picture, changing one line of text, sudo chown etc etc. It doesnt come much easier than that. Be brave lol

Mine.

Don't know why my opteron procs are "unknow".

[iero]

Ok, thanx man. I will dig for the corresponding file when I can boot my system again.

I installed nvidia universal.. and new forcedeth drivers, and everything is broken.

I'm a little tired to try to have this system working. I will try on another computer with a nvidia quadro fx 5500. Maybe this one is too old.

iero.

[damnesiac]

nvidia universal is easy to fix... http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83931&st=120&p=620978&#entry620978

delete forcedeth and use your marvell yukon if you can

[cgsheen]

Let's see if I can post mine:

[Puttabong]

Thank you! :-)

[Ianxxx]

Your more than welcome, don't suppose you can help me with a problem? See thread I just started.

[FoneBone]

Here is mine...

[WinLinMac01]

Here is mine. However, I had to manually change my info. Zephyroth said it would be done automatically. However, that was not the case.

[WinLinMac01]

I thought my processor information would automatically show. How come I had to change the cpu info manually with Zephyroth's new release? Thank you for your support. Very appreciated. =)

[WinLinMac01]

How do you add a Startup disk info in the About this Mac graphics?
I don't seem to have that. Thanks.

[akuaja]

Puttabong:iero, you have to change that string manually!

lanxx, want to share? ;)
could you tell how to change that string manually..?

[cgsheen]

WinLinMac01:How do you add a Startup disk info in the About this Mac graphics?
I don't seem to have that. Thanks.I've never added it. I think it's always been there in all of my installs...

[cgsheen]

Look at mine now. Notice the "z" for Zephyroth?
No, I didn't change the version string in "AboutThisMac.strings"....

[WinLinMac01]

@cgsheen, that doesn't make any sense. Isn't it 10.5.2 by default?

[cgsheen]

There's another string list (SystemVersion.plist) that contains all the version information. Including the: "ProductUserVisibleVersion" ... I didn't dare change anything else, but I figured it's the "user visable" entry, so...

[milanca]

My Mac.

http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m140/milanca/AboutThisMac.png

[WinLinMac01]

How come I don't have a Startup disk info section in the "About this Mac" graphics? Screenshot attached. Thanks.
Also shouldn't we add out processor speeds as well?

[Snow]

Roisoft, thx a lot for the Quicktime Hud mod. Any other besides about this mac, shutdown n quit windows and this one?

Thx again

[Snow]

Just realized its a floating window now, always on top. Any ideas how to make it a normal window again so that it hides again when you select another window?

Thx

[Voyn1x]

A few new server teething issues it seems!!

[Puttabong]

Heh,

I forgot to transfer a few database settings properly -

The attachment paths of the saved files listed in the database were still set to the path structure of the old host,
hence the extensions couldn't be served ;-)

[ToroLoco]

I used the photo that Rogue made and put it in the Apple logo in order to look more formal.

Can I use yours? I love what you did there!

[cmdshft]

Browser to:

/System/Library/CoreServices

Right click on loginwindow.app and select Show Package Contents.

Replace MacOSX.tif with the image of your choice, don't forget to name it the same as the original.

Here's mine, nothing special:

roisoft, i did this, but this change only some windows. is there a way to apply a theme or something like that?

lad, for now there are not any tools like ShapeShifter for OSX Tiger to change the theme. you have to rely on what the MacOS Community has to offer in terms of theme customization :) , i recommend you to check macthemes2.net forums and this work made from a nice italian friend http://www.robertourso.com/?cat=3, the theme is called veritas beta, i think you may have already heard of this :)

I don't do graphics...(And right now, I can barely Mac)

I had a great idea. (Well, I thinks it is)

An Apple logo colored like the Winders logo.

But...I browsed through all your graphics (that showed) and thought....I needs a Jolly Rodger (Skull and Crossbones) faded into the pic.

If anybody is willing to help, I would be EXTREMELY grateful, and I'd encourage creativity on the artists part, as who knows what SHOULD be in it that I didn't think of.... (I have a dual-core AMD processor if you need that info)

I thank you in advance! (I also want this for my splash....)
