'About this Mac' Graphics

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

Yes, I use Photoshop CS3.

No problem, glad to help.

@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.

@fire, Please try again, the attachment errors should now be fixed. Sorry for inconvenience.

Hi FoneBone, I am going to try to fix the problem now. I will tell you once it has been solved.

Sorry for inconvenience.

Hi FoneBone, the issue has been solved, all attachments have been fixed.

Yours,
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

@milancaMy newest about this Mac .. it was about time to change it.

Hi milanca,

Beautiful!
Could you please share it with me?

Kind regards,
Puttabong

Me second

The image has unfortunately been removed by the image hoster.

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.

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

Nice graphic
I think it's made by yourself, isn't it?

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

@crawleHey DoiX! Nice graphic I think it's made by yourself, isn't it? -crawle BTW: We've got the same processor type A3200 forever!

yeah i did it with photoshop CS3 on a hackintosh :)) i'm proud :))

@ 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.

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

Firewalk

Hey, how about an Apple Logo with a Zorro 'Z' I'm not a graphician, so that's some for you.

Please search before posting, mate.

roisoft, how did you apply such a dark skin?! thats what im searching all the time! and how could u change the cpu infos?

"How to about this Mac" http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=44470 ↗

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 .

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

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.

@megaargonDo 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?

We could all come over to your house and DO IT FOR YOU!

@megaargonLOL 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: …

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".

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.

nvidia universal is easy to fix... http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=83931&… ↗

delete forcedeth and use your marvell yukon if you can

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

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

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. =)

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

@Puttabongiero, you have to change that string manually! lanxx, want to share?

could you tell how to change that string manually..?

@WinLinMac01How 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...

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

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

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...

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?
