[Krishna21]

Lol. It's fun to mess around with "About This Mac".

 

I'll teach ya how, without any programs

 

Open Finder.

 

System

 

Library

 

CoreServices

 

loginwindow (Right Click and "Show Package Contents"

 

Contents

 

Resources

 

English.lproj

 

Right click on "Aboutthismac.strings" and "Open With" then go to the "Applications" folder and select "TextEdit"

 

Before opening "Aboutthismac.strings", drag it to your desktop, and open the .strings file you dragged to your desktop, not the one in the "English.lproj" folder.

 

 

It'll open up. and you'll get Something like this:

 

/**** About Box Strings and Formatting *****/

/*The tooltip text for More Info button in About box */
"MORE_INFO_TOOL_TIP" = "This button opens %@ for more info about the System.";

/* The tooltip text explaining why the More Info button is disabled in About box */
"MORE_INFO_DISABLED_TOOL_TIP" = "This button is disabled because there is no System Profiler application.";

/*The tooltip text for Software Update button in About box */
"SOFTWARE_UPDATE_TOOL_TIP" = "This button opens %@ to check for updated software.";

/* The tooltip text explaining why the Software Update button is disabled in About box */
"SOFTWARE_UPDATE_DISABLED_TOOL_TIP" = "This button is disabled because there is no Software Update application.";	//	CLM

"ABOUT_BOX_BUILD_FORMAT_STRING" = "Build %@";

"ABOUT_BOX_VERSION_FORMAT_STRING" = "Version %@";

/* The format string used to generate the Serial Number text field in the About This Mac window. */
/* The "%@" sequence is replaced by the serial number. */
"ABOUT_BOX_SERIAL_NUMBER_FORMAT_STRING" = "Serial Number %@";

/* The string used as a label for the processor information. */
"ABOUT_BOX_PROCESSOR_LABEL" = "Processor";	// CLM

/* The string used as a label for the memory information. */
"ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_LABEL" = "Memory";	//	CLM

/* The format string used to generate the Processor text field in the About This Mac window */
/* when there is exactly one processor in the machine.  The localized string */
/* must include the 2-character sequence "%@" which will be replaced in the */
/* final UI with a description of the processor (e.g. "600 MHz PowerPC G3") */
//"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Processor: %@";
[b]"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Take out the funny symbol in here and replace it with whatever you want";[/b] [[b]i](This edits the "Processor" box[/i][/b]
"ABOUT_BOX_SINGLE_PROCESSOR_L3CACHE_FORMAT" = "%@ L3 cache";

/* The format string used to generate the Processor text field in the About This Mac window */
/* when there are two or more processors in the machine.  The localized string */
/* must include the 2-character sequence "%@" which will be replaced in the */
/* final UI with a description of the processors (e.g. "Dual 800 MHz PowerPC G4") */
//"ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSORS_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Processors: %@";
"ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSORS_FIELD_FORMAT" = "%@";
"ABOUT_BOX_MULTIPLE_PROCESSORS_L3CACHE_FORMAT" = "%@ L3 cache per processor";

/* The format string used to generate the Memory text field in the About This Mac window. */
/* The localized string must include the 2-character sequence "%@" which will be replaced */
/* in the final UI with a description of the memory (e.g. "256 MB") */
//"ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Memory: %@";
[b]"ABOUT_BOX_MEMORY_FIELD_FORMAT" = "Take out the funny symbol and replace it with whatever you want";
[/b] [b][i](This edits the Memory field)[/i][/b]
/* The string used to describe the type of memory for CPUs with built-in memory. */
"ABOUT_BOX_BUILT-IN_MEMORY" = "Built-in";	//	CLM

= ';

 

Then save, drag it back to the "english.lproj" folder, replace, authenticate with your password, view "About this Mac" and it should work!
