Defaults Configuration File

This defaults file is created via JAMF Configuration Profiles and scoped to all users.

Some application defaults are stored in /Library/Managed Preferences/com.gianteaglescript.defaults.plist which consists of

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>SupportFiles</key>
    <string>/Library/Application Support/GiantEagle</string>
    <key>BannerImage</key>
    <string>/SupportFiles/GE_SD_BannerImage.png</string>
    <key>BannerSubtitle</key>
    <string></string>
    <key>BannerPadding</key>
    <string>10</string>
    <key>TitleFontColor</key>
    <string>white</string>
  </dict>
</plist>

With v3.1 of Swift dialog, Bart has come up with the following changes:

  • Customize Window Banner colors
  • Window Subtitles!
  • Customize banner images with gradients

Here are a few examples that you can do with it:

    <key>BannerImage</key>
    <string>/SupportFiles/GE_SD_BannerImage.png</string>
    <key>BannerSubtitle</key>
    <string></string>
    <key>BannerPadding</key>
    <string>10</string>
    <key>TitleFontColor</key>
    <string>white</string>
    <key>BannerImage</key>
