baffled by background image with MUI
  hi peeps,
first of all my compliments on such a product!!it works like a charm and I am well impressed. But (there is always one....;) ) I am having troubles with the final aesthetical details..I wanted a background image for the installer and I added this to the script

MUI Settings

>!define MUI_ABORTWARNING

>!define MUI_ICON "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico"

>!define MUI_UNICON "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-uninstall.ico"

>!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myGUIInit 

>

where:

myGUIInit

># the plugins dir is automatically deleted when the installer exits

>InitPluginsDir

File/oname=$PLUGINSDIRbgimage.bmp "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\wetted_unit_cell.bmp"

>BgImage::SetBg /NOUNLOAD /FILLSCREEN $PLUGINSDIRbgimage.bmp

FunctionEnd 

>

Can anyone tell me where am I going wrong? no bg image is displayed when the installer starts

cheers guys
Maurizio

ps: the paths have all the backslashes in the right place but the vbulletin php BBC nuked them out!:weird:

hmm.. I dont see any slashes (/) try this ...

; MUI Settings 
!define MUI_ABORTWARNING 
!define MUI_ICON "${NSISDIR}Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-install.ico" 
!define MUI_UNICON "${NSISDIR}Contrib\Graphics\Icons\modern-uninstall.ico" \

!define MUI_CUSTOMFUNCTION_GUIINIT myGUIInit

where:

Function myGUIInit 
# the plugins dir is automatically deleted when the installer exits 
InitPluginsDir 
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\bgimage.bmp "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\Graphics\Wizard\wetted_unit_cell.bmp" 
BgImage::SetBg /NOUNLOAD /FILLSCREEN $PLUGINSDIR\bgimage.bmp 
FunctionEnd

PS : Ignore this reply ..... !! I didnt read that good :) sorry ...

TIP: You can use double backslashes "\\" to represent one when using [PHP]. But if you don't want to do that, you can use [code] (w/o the syntax highlighter).

oh ok..thanks for the tip deguix.
yep my code is exactly like VegetaSan's...but no background image is displayed. Any idea why? or I should i change it?
Thanks

TIP: You can't change your post after 3 hours of the posting.

TIP: [PHP] uses syntax highlighting, [code] doesn't.
