OS X GUI question

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows of a program for OSX that can create a GUI for a CD. Something like this: http://www.programurl.com/cd-gui-builder.htm
Any links or .. hints would be very appreciated. Thanks!

    A GUI for a CD? Do you mean like an auto-run program that pops up when installed?

    Doesn't exist for OS X. Apple dropped the functionality, arguing that it could be used as a security attack vector.

    The alternative, though, is just as pretty if not a bit more elegant -- OS X's finder allows you to store Finder background window settings as well as icon settings, which is how companies like Adobe have fancy CDs that seem to do autostart stuff. This guy outlines how you do it, to essentially get the same thing you're looking for (a picture background w/ different icon pictures) w/o autostart "programs" running.
