ChaosAbout is using the cpuz.exe to find all the needed informations. This is why the first start will last some seconds … systeminfo.txt has to be written.
On some systems, ChaosAbout failes to write systeminfo.txt. If it happens to you, start the CreateInfo.bat, it will create the information file. If you change your CPU or RAM, you have to start CreateInfo.bat too.
Some CPUs might be shown incorrect. If your processor description is corrupted, feal free to contact me, but please be shure you have checked http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php for support of your CPU and please send me your systeminfo.txt file.
If you are missing the Startup-Disk information, then you have only one drive or partition on your system. If your Startup-Disk is pronounced as “Not Namend” then you have to rename your disk.
Skins
ChaosAbout is easy to skin. You just have to create a new folder in the subdirectory ‘/skins’. Now you can copy the images from a given skin
and manipulate them as you like it. At the end you must write the name of the new folder into ChaosAbout.ini under the key ’skin’. If you want,
you can change the font here, too.

This skin is very nice and look like real Mac

Lovely, but does not seem to work on my Windows 2000 (I needed to open the .bat and it did make the .txt file, but if I open the cpuz.exe it isn’t very Mac-like, it even has the Intel logo here..)
Well, it did look great on the screenshot.
The CPUZ.exe is only the Tool to Create the systeminfo.txt. You have to start ChaosAbout.exe to get the skinned Application.
cheers
Cool stuff, but I have this problem:

This is ONLY when I run About this Mac from the Finder menu…hmmm
When I run the chaosabout.exe file directly from its folder it looks “normal”, like this:
