10.4: Find and modify the 'About this Mac' box
Authored by: pastorjeff2000 on Dec 04, '05 05:00:11PM

I tried replacing the .tif file succesfully and the first time I checked the "About this mac" window, it showed my replacement graphic/text, but after logging out and back in, it shows nothing - just blank space where the graphic should appear. I tried replacing with the original tif file, but it still just shows nothing there, just grey space in the box where the Apple logo (or my replacement) would normally appear. Any idea on why this would reject even the original tif file? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I have not tried this hint, but I'd guess your problem is a permissions / ownership issue. You'll most likely have to look at the files in the Terminal to sort it out.
