# Use like this: dmgbuild -s settings.py "Test Volume" test.dmg

# You can actually use this file for your own application (not just TextEdit)
# by doing e.g.
#
#   dmgbuild -s settings.py -D app=/path/to/My.app "My Application" MyApp.dmg

# This is a STRING containing any of the following:
#
#    #3344ff          - web-style RGB color
#    #34f             - web-style RGB color, short form (#34f == #3344ff)
#    rgb(1,0,0)       - RGB color, each value is between 0 and 1
#    hsl(120,1,.5)    - HSL (hue saturation lightness) color
#    hwb(300,0,0)     - HWB (hue whiteness blackness) color
#    cmyk(0,1,0,0)    - CMYK color
#    goldenrod        - X11/SVG named color
#    builtin-arrow    - A simple built-in background with a blue arrow
#    /foo/bar/baz.png - The path to an image file
#
# The hue component in hsl() and hwb() may include a unit; it defaults to
# degrees ('deg'), but also supports radians ('rad') and gradians ('grad'
# or 'gon').
#
# Other color components may be expressed either in the range 0 to 1, or
# as percentages (e.g. 60% is equivalent to 0.6).
