I'm a mac user too and I also would like to do that.

but so far the only way that worked for me was downloading the grf wizard from divxland.org/ttd and alter the files on my old laptop.

perhaps you could just paint the graphics on your mac and then ask somebody here to encode it for you? -just an idea...

pasky ported the grf codec to unix, so it should be pretty easy to get it working on mac
I will look at it when I get time, but don't hold your breath

How do you paint them? (I'm a newcomer to the TTD and OTTD world.)

just use Graphic Converter. It will do the job ok, I think. However I have never made any graphics, so I don't know if it will make any problems

You draw them in either in MS-Paint, or Adobe Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro or eny known image progman(note palette must match TTD's so ya don't get blinking trains or enything else quirky). :)

But how do you arrange everything? I know what to use, but not how to draw them in the file!

I don't know. Read the docs for the grfcodec.
