So my dilemma is quite simple, however the solution --unsurprisingly must be complicated and problematic.
My goal is to have Disc based media, or in some cases, USB, to have a personalized, professional look to them.
In Windows its straight forward. I have my desktop.ini files that handle the icons, and my autorun. That's that.
On the other hand, Mac is having trouble retaining it's personalization upon burn, and I fear, potentially won't after moving them to a USB. Text size, background image, icon size, icons, nothing.
From what I understand the .DS_Store is what contains everything from the layout, to the background image, and icon info.
It's also to my understanding that the .DS_Store contains "everything", to the point where it may take directory into play, with no ability to be localized.
(Which is why I am thinking, even if I would have everything looking good on my Mac, it'll look nothing like it on someone else's on the USB) The first part of my search was acctually on the .DS_Store file, assuming OSX handled it like an ini.
I spent countless hours looking into this, countless more experimenting with .CDR .DMG and hybrid .ISOs... when all I want is to have some sexy folders that have icons, and if possible a background img.
Hopefully to where I can keep everything in a folder, and just copy-paste the preassembled sexyness, and then just add the content.
My main mission is to have the style ready to go, for Windows, OSX, and Linux, to be burned on one disc, in one partition, or just move them to a USB.
Any help and input will be appreciated! I'm pulling my hair out here guys... ;'(
