Mac:aMSN Bundle
From AMSN
Conceptual
aMSN Desktop Icon
The application bundle on os x contains everything that is needed to run aMSN. We use a modified version of the Wish Shell, that is provided as part of the TclTk Aqua distribution. The Wish bundle can be built from the tcl/tk source when tk is built on OS X.
We make the following changes to the bundle:
- Rename to aMSN.app
- Rename Contents/MacOS/Wish to Contents/MacOS/aMSN.
- Rename Contents/Resources/Wish.* to Contents/Resources/aMSN.*
- Add amsn source files into Contents/Resources/Scripts/...
- Edit Info.plist to look like this.
- Add aMSN icon file from amsn/desktop-icons/ as a .icns file. (We must support up to 512x512 px for Mac OS X 10.5).
Editing the Bundle
Application bundles are just directories, but in Finder, they appear as applications. You can still explore the bundle, just find it, right click (ctrl-click) and choose the "Show Package Contents" option.
- Skins and plugins are located in: Contents -> Resources -> Scripts -> plugins/skins.
User Content
Content for individual users is stored in Home -> Library -> Application Support -> amsn. This is equivalent to ~/.amsn/ on Linux.
