Modding Mac OS X isn't about cutting up your Power Mac's case with
a saws-all; it's about modifying Mac OS X's user interface and
unlocking secrets and dispelling your fears of the Unix command
line so you can take command of your Mac. Modding Mac OS X starts
out with the very basics of showing you how to configure your Mac
and do simple things like change Finder views, use an image from
iPhoto's library on your desktop, and how to find and use screen
savers. From there, Modding Mac OS X shows you how to: Find hidden
features in your favorite applications; Dive inside application
bundles to find hidden resources; Change application and
system-wide keyboard shortcuts; Work with the Property List Editor
to read and edit property list files; Wrap your head around the
defaults command to tweak an application's settings; Hack on NIB
files to change an application's interface; Control an application
with AppleScript, even if it isn't scriptable. Each Modding example
includes detailed step-by-step instructions that even a novice Mac
user can follow, while also providing the necessary detail to
satisfy the experienced hacker. The knowledge you gain from
tweaking one application can be easily applied to the next. So go
on, empower your inner Mac geek. You know you want to.
