Yes. There are lots of show-like moments, but compressed. It wasn't as wham-bam as the trailer suggested, and the action was in character, but on a movie scale. (things they could …

it wasn't a final cut, it was a test screening. Looked mostly finished to me, a few audio/video effects to clean up, but otherwise finished. click on my sig, you'll find a link t…

So has anyone found where Apple tucked the Boot Panel in Tiger? It seems they moved the system icons folder too.

I found the system icons in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle Has anyone stumbled across the boot screen PDF yet?

Look in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemStarter/QuartzDisplay.bundle/Resources

Copy and paste into browser file://localhost//System/Library/CoreServices/SystemStarter/QuartzDisplay.bundle/Resources/BootPanel_Original.pdf

There is no 'SystemStarter' here.

Looks like SystemStarter was replaced by launchd in Tiger along with a host of other services.

Yep. It appears that the old familar location - SystemStarter is not there anymore. I used EasyFind to search all files (invisible, inside of packages, etc.) for .pdf, .tif, .tiff,…

weird, I have mine still. I did an Update though

Sorry I posted false info

This doesn't work for me. Even when logged in as root I don't see that folder you mentioned. I also can't find it with EasyFind. What's the path?

That's cool. I've been up that long before, so I know how you feel. I've been digging a fit further and have found several differnt copies of the "Mac OS X" text and the Apple logo…

The location of the BootPanel.pdf file used by Panther has been changed significantly in Tiger. It is now located within the file: /usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow It starts a…

Any idea how this can be changed??!!

The brute force aproach of overlaying the imbedded image with another on didn't work. The new image was a bit smaller so it fit but the program may try to use the entire space rat…

That sucks... It's strange that Apple chose now to make it so difficult to mod the boot panel.

Made it work. The new pdf must be exactly the same size (bytes) as the original. My new one was smaller so it was padded with nulls before the $EOF. \n's will also work. I don'…

Can you describe exactly how you made the edit? What tool did you use?

how do you crack the executible open to get at the .pdf? -Andrew

hex dump was used in this case but any number of other approaches will work. The key is be sure the new image is exactly the same size as the original image.

I used Photoshop and Resorcerer (HexEdit would do just fine). I'd be interested in better methods for reducing the size of a pdf image. Don't forget the progress bar: http://forum…
