Branding

ExpeDat Desktop offers the following customization options for OEM and white-label distribution to your users and customers.

Application Name

If the name of "ExpeDat Desktop.exe" or "ExpeDat Desktop.app" is changed, the new name will be displayed in all windows and dialog boxes.

Application Icon

The application icon can be replaced with any icon image.  In macOS, use the Finder to open the Get Info window of "ExpeDat Desktop.app", click on the icon at the top, and paste in your own icon.  For Windows, there are a variety of free and commercial icon editing applications available to change the "ExpeDat Desktop.exe" icon.

Modifying the icon of a Windows application will break its Authenticode signature.  After changing the icon, you must resign the EXE with your own code signing certificate prior to distribution.  Changing a macOS application's icon does not break its signature.

Startup Message

By using DropDat to embed settings in ExpeDat Desktop, you can create a custom text message that will be displayed each time ExpeDat Desktop is launched.  By default, the startup text will be displayed in the message box of the main window.  Checking the "Lock" option will cause the text to be displayed in a modal dialog box which the user must acknowledge to continue using the software.

License Configuration

The About dialog displays the name of your company and a short text string describing your ExpeDat Desktop license.  Contact support if you wish to change this text.
