Customize the About Window

Customizing Mail Search’s About window requires several simple tasks. A document-based AppleScript Studio project contains a file named Credits.rtf, described in “Document-based Application Template.” This rich text format file supplies the application description for the default About window. The current default About window is shown in Figure 11-4.

To customize this text, you simply edit the file and supply your own information. You can open the file in Xcode, or in another editor such as TextEdit (distributed with Mac OS X). Figure 11-5 shows the About window after modifying the Credits.rtf file.

You’ll make changes in later sections that will further customize the About window:

• When you add customized information in “Customize Version and Copyright Information,” the application name, version string, and copyright information are displayed in the About window.

• When you add a custom icon in “Customize Icons,” the icon is displayed in the About window.
