Redoing Mac OS X s Graphics The professional interface artists at Apple use Adobe Photoshop just like professional artists everywhere else. But in Mac OS X they ve made very little effort to cover their tracks. In Cocoa programs and even a few Carbonized ones every element of the famous Aqua interface is nothing more than a Photoshop-generated graphics file. The beauty of graphics files of course is that you can edit them. Maybe you just want to adjust the colors. Maybe you found a replacement graphic online. Or maybe you actually want to draw a new graphic from scratch. In each of these cases by using a program like Adobe Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you can dress up your own desktop in your own way. In addition to a little artistic talent all you need to know is how to open the graphics that constitute the interface of each program. The routine generally goes like this 1. In the Finder open the Applications folder. Control-click or right-click the icon of the program you want to edit choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu. You may remember from Chapter 5 that most Mac OS X programs may look like single icons but are actually disguised folders containing all of their own support files. You can choose almost any Cocoa program to edit in this way Address Book Chess iChat Mail iPhoto Safari iDVD iMovie TextEdit whatever. 2. Open the Contents Resources folder. Inside are the objects of your search the graphics files often in TIFF or PDF format that constitute the face of the program you re editing. Sometimes they re one more folder down in a folder representing your language for example. When you re editing the iPhoto for example the Resources folder contains the graphics that create slideshow playback buttons the toolbar buttons and so on. There s nothing to stop you from swapping in photos of your friends heads in their places. Figure 17-2 shows another example. While you re at it you may also want to open up Mac OS X s Mail .
