Making Data Discs : Custom Icons and Backgrounds
Custom Icons and Backgrounds
If you are creating a Mac Only or Mac & PC data disc, you can select a custom icon instead of the generic disc, and choose a specific color or image for the main window background instead of standard white.
Custom backgrounds only display when the disc is viewed on a Mac.
* To set a custom icon
1 Prepare your disc as you normally would. See Making a Mac Only Disc or Making a Mac & PC Disc.
2 In the Output Settings area, click the More... button.
The data disc settings dialog appears and the current disc icon is shown.
3 Change the disc icon. There are two ways to do this:
Add a photo or other image file: Drag-and-drop a photo or other image file from your hard disk or the Media Browser on top of the current disc icon in the data disc settings dialog in Toast.
Copy an existing icon from a file or folder on your hard disk: Select the file or folder containing the icon you want to copy and choose File > Get Info. The Get Info window from the Finder appears. Click on the icon in the window and choose Edit > Copy. In the data disc settings dialog in Toast, click on the current disc icon and choose Edit > Paste.
