a) does not document DS_Store format b) seems to change it randomly between versions I had quite some fun already re-positioning icons with our initial LibO artwork; from that time, I have logged this howto: (paraphrased from http://dx4.org/linux/modifydmg.html) * make r/w copy of .dmg: hdiutil convert LibO-3.4.4...dmg -format UDRW -o rw.dmg * find out current size: hdiutil resize -limits rw.dmg * resize with ~random extra sectors: hdiutil resize -sectors <sectors> rw.dmg * mount it: hdiutil attach rw.dmg * note that /Volumes/LibreOffice/.DS_Store is read-only, change it to rw via chmod in the terminal * tweak settings to heart's content: open View->View options in Finder for the LibO .dmg window double-click on the background image, in the then-opening file selector, select the LibreOffice volume - notice you don't see the hidden .background dir - - press Command-Shift-g do be able to select hidden dirs, manually enter ".background" - in the subdir, select the "background.png" - close setting dialog, close LibreOffice .dmg window * unmount: hdiutil detach rw.dmg * double-click on .dmg in Finder, it should now show the correct background image * copy out final .DS_Store Tweak options to your heart's content (also move icons around), eject volume to store things, re-mount - and steal the .DS_Store file from it (see also https://wiki.mozilla.org/DS_Store_Easy_Way_to_Update) NOTE: if you need to change/adapt the background image - make *sure* it points to a subdir of the dmg - OSX does *not* automagically copy stuff. To enter/select from hidden dirs in the finder file selector, use Command-Shift-g Make sure Mac really wrote out this file - sometimes it comes with only read permissions on the dmg, or it's silently not written - http://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/wiki/ModifyingTheDiskImage has the tip to unmount dmg, then logout - for me, just rm-ing .DS_Store, then changing stuff, and then waiting for it to reappear worked best. It's most conveniently located here: setup_native/source/mac/ooo/DS_Store NOTE: Just in case your changes do not stick - *delete* the old .DS_Store file before, something, with broken/inconsistent information therein, OSX does not seem to save your changes. NOTE2: In case OSX complains your dmg is full - just randomly remove some files from the program dir. Cheers, -- Thorsten
