with all the icon customizing going on i took the next stage.
i customized the camino splash screen which is nice but far from the quality of the browser itself.
thanks to os x this is an supereasy task.
just rightclick on the app, select "show package content" and search for .tif files, especially in the recources folder.
open the file in photoshop and do what you want... if you save your changes (backup before doing this) juste relaunch the app and see your custom splash screen.
whats really cool are alpha channels. so you can add transparency easily...
if you like check out mine:

This is the reason I like Cocoa apps better. More customizing ability. Sadly, most carbon apps store their splash screen into the resources fork so you have to edit it using ResEdit or something

BTW, don't forget to update to latest version of Meteorologist (1.2.5). It have some new icons in it
