Too long name for welcome page
Hi,

I have a too long product name for the welcome page. Due to the long name I need three lines for the "Welcome to the installation of..." text and default Modern UI only allows two lines.

I have looked around in the documentation and it seems that replacing the ioSpecial.ini file is a way to solve it. However, the default ioSpecial.ini file does not make sence to me:

Field 1 is the image to the left side. That's ok.
Field 2 I assume it the "Welcome to..." title.
Field 3 is probably the text body.

Field 2 and 3 do not have any size specifications. How come then Modern UI allocates two lines for field 2? And how does it know where to place field 3?

Is there some way I can specify a variable height for field 2 so that it will automatically adapt to the text? (I change my product name a lot :)

Thanks,
Torbjörn

Hi :)

Check the Modern UI Readme, "3. Pages, Welcome Page settings" :

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Contrib/...UI/Readme.html

There is a nice flag just for that :D:

Thanks, I had missed that one...

However, this is very manual. There is no automatic way to do it where NSIS checks the length of the contents?
