Nov 26, 2011  This is a short tutorial for how to do the custom DMG Background Image. Custom DMG Background Image – New Version. Posted in Advanced, Finder. Instead of showing hidden files in Finder to set the background image Murphy uses the ln command in Terminal to create a soft link to the image file. One advantage is that you don’t have to go back and turn off the display of hidden files when you’re done.
