I can modify the toolbar thing on projectname.storyboard, but I can't find a way to edit the window that pops up when I click "About app name"

You can create an infoWindow in IB with the content you need.
Then connect the about Menu item to this IBAction:

Code Block     @IBAction fileprivate func showinfos(_ sender: NSMenuItem) {
        
        infoWindow.makeKeyAndOrderFront(infoWindow)
        infoWindow.isWindowVisible = true 
	    // etc…
   }

In this window, I also have a button (or a gesture on a label) to keep access to the standard About window, with version num and build num, through this IBAction:

Code Block     @IBAction func aboutVersion(_ sender: NSClickGestureRecognizer) {  
        NSApp.orderFrontStandardAboutPanel(self)		// This is the default action to which About app is connected to
    }

or

Code Block     @IBAction func aboutVersion(_ sender: NSButton) {  
        NSApp.orderFrontStandardAboutPanel(self)		// This is the default action to which About app is connected to
    }

What is it about that window you wish to edit, exactly?

Style, tint, size, border, contents, app's name only...?
