Ok I Love Aqua, But I hate the Limited Graphite Theme Support, Well I am gonna Chage that, but I need your Help! Already I have Hacked up the Log In panel, Boot Panel, iTunes 2, Mail, Windows media Player and all the folders/foldericons to match a nice graphite aqua theme, But i can't figure out for the life of me how to edit the resourses in iMovie, and DVD player. Can any one out there give me a hand so we can get this makeover out to the public? ThanX guys, Email me or IM me if you want.

You can seew what I have done so far at http://homepage.mac.com/liquidityx/PhotoAlbum1.html

If iMovie and the DVD player are like QuickTime.. then you'll need to edit the PNGf resources in ResEdit. Probably in the package you'll find something like Localized.rsrc or App.rsrc or QuickTime.rsrc.. convert that to resource with quickconvert.. then if you have forker.. open the file in resedit.. copy the hex part you want from the pngf resource.. open a new file put the pngf in a new resource file.. change the file type to PNGf. Change the stuff in Photoshop.. then do the same thing in reverse.

That was probably confusing, I can explain better on aim but you don't seem to be on :shrug:

Did you mean that you wanted an installer? You can using the Installer.app program that comes with the OS X Dev tools. But I prefer an AppleScript solution. It is up to you though.

Go here

system/library/CoreServices/Finder

Now there are two Finder apps there. One will let you "Show Package Contents" on control click.

After you have the package open go here

Contents/Resources/computer.icns

The computer.icns is the iMac that represents the computer in the tool bar. You'll also find the rest of these icons as well as a few others in here.

I don't think iMovie is hackable... I looked everywhere in there. No pngf or picts in any of the resource files. It seems like they are in the Interface folder. But those files inside don't seem editable. If anyone knows how to change it then please enlighten me.

iBabo · Oct 27, 2001, 07:01 PM

instead of making it an installer that cant be undone, why not make it a metamorphX .theme file?
if you want, i can do that for you.

PhreakOut X · Oct 27, 2001, 07:29 PM

yah that would be kool, go for it, but will MMX patch application resources to? IM me man, "liquidityx" on AOL IM

spectre · Oct 27, 2001, 09:18 PM

Odd, I have Stuffit Lite 6.5 installed.. hrrrmm... maybe i'll try to expand them in OS 9 later, or just restart X.

Ben

v0id7 · Oct 28, 2001, 09:06 AM

i cant expand them either man! what gives? i think its the precompresion that the apple site gives file (bin.hqx) but i tried renaming it and it still doesnt work. try to make it something other than .sit maybe; like .rar

PhreakOut X · Oct 29, 2001, 12:19 AM
