+### update 2022-03-10
+Adding the background image in this way sets a full path from `/` in the `.DS_Store`, meaning the DMG Volume name cannot change (or if it does then the background image isn't found and so not displayed).
+It should now be set (only needs to be done once) to a relative path, e.g. `.background/jalview_dmg_background.png` using the AppleScript in `utils/install4j/set_relative_dmg_background_image.applescript` with, e.g.
+```
+/usr/bin/osascript ./applescript.applescript Jalview\ Installer\ \(2.11.2.0\)
