GUI changes
So, still a newbie to this whole NSI thing....
so pardon any possibly simple questions.

I've not found in the help what I'm looking for because I think my question is too broad..

Is there 1 place that contains the answers to such questions like:

how do I change the color of something?
it's size?
it's font (for text)?
How do I on Modern UI and original pages add images?
how do I add on text in Modern UI and orginal pages?

Now, when I say stuff like how do I change the color of something I mean for example, most the windows are grey in NSI, what if I wanted a different shade?

so, continuing the barrade of questions...

How do I create a full background during the install (like wise does. BTW wise is our primary install tool, and that's what I'm used to. I'm evaluating NSI right now as an alternative)


One other small thing? I noticed that you can have multiple sections and then if you include the components page, that you can check/uncheck the sections you want installed. What I want to know is, how can I have 2 or more component pages but show only certain sections in each. sometimes we install multiple components and each have their own sections. I could only get it to show all sections in all component pages.


Please take some time to read the documentation. Use SetCtlColors for colors, modify the UI resources to change dialogs, CreateFont for fonts...

If you need unique sections on a component page you will have to hide/show sections in the pre function of the page.
