Using the example app FocusTimer, this article explains create-dmg's window size and position, icon size, and the X/Y coordinates of the app icon and the Applications drop link one by one, shows how to align the background image's pixel coordinates with the window's point coordinates, and covers how to automate this process so it can be reused for every release. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-20-design-macos-dmg-1-create-dmg-and-background/ Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-20-design-macos-dmg-1-create-dmg-and-background/ When you distribute a macOS app yourself, the very first thing a user sees is the Finder window that opens when they double-click the .dmg.
