The newest version of NSIS use the Modern UI AKA MUI.
But if you get the source-code, you'll find the UI Holder. There you can compile the source in C++.

Use a resource editor, like Resource Hacker, and you can change the default Modern UI to create your own UI.

You should create a custom UI file and use ChangeUI.

i have an example:

the first screen:
this is the layout of my setup:
http://www.ystart.net/upload/20040531/1085997934.png

the second screen
but i wanna use this layout:
http://www.ystart.net/upload/20040531/1085998025.png


how can i set my setup, that i can use this layout in the second screen?

EDIT:
oh. ok. i understand. but how create i a custom UI?

EDIT2:
the half of the layout that i want now i have.
but i need the drop-down (?) list like the second screen.

As deguix said. Get Resource Hacker, then open your UI, modify the dialog and re-compile.
Yeah, you need some background for this.

This layout is one of the standard Modern UI designs. You only have to set the MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_SMALLDESC interface setting in order to use it (see Modern UI Readme).

That drop-down box displays installation types, see the InstType instruction (NSIS Users Manual).
