Customizing Author name/look of app.manifest for UAC Prompt

As of now my UAC prompt comes up but it does not have my author name in it and it is yellow. How do I change that?

Thanks Trevor Heins

You have digitally sign your executable. That's the only way to have your name displayed as publisher and change the color of UAC to blue.

See Digital Code Signing Step-by-Step Guide. The article talks about Office and Smart Tags, yet it can be used a guide to digitally sign other files.

The certificate you use for signing must be trusted, i.e. you have to buy it from a trusted Certificate Authority. If you sign your executable with self-signed certificate as shown in the article, it won't be trusted and nothing will change in the UAC prompt.
