[vlc-devel] [MacOSX] DMG Image design

[Diego Fernando Nieto]

Hi to all

Second chance :)
What do you think about this background image for the DMG image?

Please, give me your comments!

PD: Do you know why the osascript dmg_script.scpt that defines the background fails? I'm trying to define programmatically the background and It doesn't work-

Sincerely

Diego Fernando Nieto
