How to modify/change the 'About This Mac' dialog
 
Always wanted to get rid of the Unknown Processor, which is showing in your 'About This Mac' dialog? :)

Simply open the Finder, then press CMD + N to open a new window.
Now, navigate to:

Code:

/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/YOURLANGUAGE.lproj
Replace YOURLANGUAGE with the language file which is in use, in my case: German.lproj

Then use Nano/TextMate/SubEthaEdit or your favourite text application to open the AboutThisMac.strings file!

Now search for this:

Code:

"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Customize This To Your Liking";
or
Code:

"ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Customize This To Your Liking";
Now enjoy your customized dialog. :)

I've almost finished a script which can do that.

So it will be applied during the installation of Rev.2.

What's that Colored apple thing about?(I know it's the retro apple logo but how did you change)

To change the 'About This Mac' Graphics, go to

Code:

/system/library/coreservices/loginwindow/contents/resources
Once you are there, replace MacOSX.tif with the new one (the name must be MacOSX.tif).
