- `macos/background.tiff`: TIFF image for packaging macOS DMGs.
- `macos/Info.plist.in`: Template for generating `info.plist` on macOS. See `macos/macos-retina-display.md` for details.

### Development

### macOS DMG covers
The DMG files uses `macos/background.tiff` as the background, which is created from
`macos/background.png` and `macos/background@2x.png` with the following command:
```sh
tiffutil -cathidpicheck macos/background.png macos/background@2x.png -out macos/background.tiff
```
`macos/background@2x.png` should be double the size of `macos/background.png` with 144 PPI.
You can set the PPI by running:
```sh
sips -s dpiWidth 144 -s dpiHeight 144 macos/background@2x.png
```
`sips` and `tiffutil` are available by default on macOS.
