Mod About This Mac 10.8!

Hey everyone, Thanks for all the interest and all the positive replies. Glad its working out for all of you.

I'm still trying to accomplish a major task. Getting different dual monitor images. As soon as I'm able to figure this out I hope I'll get a Golden Thread award or at

least a sticky right?

Does anybody have a working Thunderbolt or DVI 24 or 27 inch display?

In about this mac you should see the image of your display. Having the original Apple Cinema Display most likely won't help me.

I'm looking for system strings that say when a 24 or 27 inch monitor are plugged in to display those images in about this mac.

If someone would be so kind to upload a image of their System Report under Displays I would appreciate it. Otherwise I'll have to run to the Apple Store

or Microcenter and take a snapshot this weekend.

Thanks All!

If you want you can edit the apple logo seen on the first About This Mac screen.

This is simply a PNG file located at:

System/Library/CoreServices/Loginwindow.app/contents/Resources/MacOSX.Png and [email protected]

Actually, /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/MacOSX.png
Case is significant in Terminal.

If you want to Make your own I suggest using Charcoal Font. That I believe is Close to Apple's Font for OS 10.

I think you'll find Myriad Pro (Bold) is what you were looking for.

Cheers!
If anyone makes progress on how to attach specific icons to specific display device types that's on my own wish list too!

Very nice work, King13p


Here is my baby ML



my Streacom FC7 box



and my Samsung TV



A little problem: I could not change the name of the monitor (in fact the name given by the ampli A/V) in the windows above, but it's ok in Information system and in Preference Monitor.



I've added this in the /Display/.../French/Localizable.string
<key>HT-R380</key>
<string>TV Samsung Crystal 32"</string>

Could someone help me to do a perfect custom ?

I also suggest to verify the permission of modded files. Must be root/wheel.

Try change the English file to what you want it to say. I changed my english one and switched my system language to french and the change followed.

Let me know what your results are.

Thanks
