653321 - Add disk image (DMG) background for non-official branding OS X downloads

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

Downloading the OS X for a "Firefox" (stable) build gives you a nice background in the Finder window:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/branding/official/background.png

(Note important arrow image that indicates one should drag the app to the applications folder link.)


For our other branding flavors, it's just a blank image. It's ugly.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/branding/aurora/background.png
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/branding/nightly/background.png

We should at least use the nice background from the official/ branding sans wordmark. Bonus for putting the appropriate workmark into place. Hopefully the original artwork for that exists somewhere?

(The icon for the DMG itself is also wrong, but bug 649526 looks to be taking care of that)

For Nightly and Aurora we should be using stars :)  That way you get to drag the planet around in it's correct solar context!

Just for completeness's sake, can we get a simple version for the "unofficial" branding? Looks like it doesn't even need a wordmark, going from what we did with splash.bmp...

[Not sure if we'll even be using this branding flavor in the future, it used to be for the park-named alpha releases. But I'm assuming it should be trivial enough to make a plain/bland/mspaint version.]

I tried doing the obvious and replacing the existing background.pngs with those files, and for some reason the DMG I got from a "make package" still didn't include them (even after a clobber). I'm not sure what's going on with that.

Probably a problem with the dsstore file. Looks like the one in the Nightly directory is still referencing DeerPark. Not sure how those were made to being with. Probably manually created by editing a DMG then copied over?

This patch updates the background image and the dsstore file. Only tested on 10.6.

This looks great on 10.6, but doesn't work on 10.5.

There is some weirdness on 10.5 if hidden files are visible (scrollbars appear), but that's not a major issue.

The background and the icon kind of blend together to some degree, which is a bit odd, but apparently the icon will be changing to work better in that case. I didn't check that the alignment was pixel perfect, but this is certainly better than the current setup :)
