| macosxhints.com - Customize the iDVD background Apple Logo | As you may know, iDVD includes (by default) the Apple logo watermark on your DVD. You can disable this in the General section of iDVD's preferences. In my case, however, I wanted the watermark, but I didn't want it to be the Apple logo. Here's how to change it (you'll need the Developer Tools installed to do this):
| 1. Quit iDVD if it's running, then make a backup of the iDVD.app program. | 2. Control-click on iDVD.app in the Finder, and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. | 3. Navigate into Contents/Resources. | 4. Edit the file watermark.tif to your satisfaction, retaining the pretty translucency. | 5. Open Watermark.qtz by double-clicking on the file; it should open in Quartz Composer. | 6. Click on the patch that says Watermark. | 7. Click on Patch Inspector in the Toolbar, then choose Settings. | 8. Import the watermark.tif file you just edited. | 9. Save the file and restart iDVD.
I had to restart iDVD several times, but eventually, the Apple logo was replaced with with my own translucent background logo.
