Give the DMG file a background image like other applications. Oscar Beaumont on Linear

Could you please send more information about this, I checked here and the build process is already creating a dmg file with the correct image.

This is the output of pnpm desktop build

Screenshot of a macOS app installer. It displays the Firefox Quantum branding on a dark background, with a Firefox app icon and an arrow pointing towards an Applications folder icon.

I mean a DMG background image along the lines of this. If @jamiepine does up a background in Figma like the background to the landing page it will make the DMG look way better.

Here are couple of quick concepts @oscartbeaumont

I personally prefer the first one.

@jamiepine @Brendonovich @maxichrome @utkubakir Thoughts?

First one looks pretty good, I'd prefer less blank space around the outside. Also higher contrast on the 'Drag & Drop' text.

first one +1.

Maybe more padding around the arrow as well?

Also the colours for the arrow are off.

How about this? Using an icon from our existing icon pack and with hint text based on our existing typography style. The background is based on the landing's home page design.

Mockup of a Spacedrive macOS installer. There are large vibrant pink and purple orbs in the background, originating toward the top of the image and fading out by most of the way down. Slightly translucent text atop the blooms reads "Drag Spacedrive into Applications." There is a thin white arrow in the center pointing rightward from the Spacedrive app icon to the Applications folder icon.

(It's worth noting, this is a mockup and the icons' sizes and labels are not necessarily identical to how they would be displayed in the actual OS.)
