Yes you can make 'skins' for nsis. However you will need to know a fair bit of C/C++ to create an alternative user interface, skin, for NSIS. ModernUI is an examlpe of such a project. Hope this helps you.

Modern UI doesn't require any C/C++ knowledge, just NSIS knowledge. To create a real skin with a differently shaped window (a circle for example), pictures and customized buttons you will need to have more than a fair knowledge of C/C++ and Windows API.

If you just want to move a button here and there you can create your own UI file (look in Contrib\UIs) using Resource Hacker. This is fairly simple, just change the UI and then use it in NSIS using ChangeUI (without MUI) or !define MUI_UI (with MUI).

Then you need a plug-in that will draw buttons and progress bars itself (BS_OWNERDRAW for buttons).
