Leave the losers behind like Installshield
ok .. I was wondering .. if a tooltip like this is possible:

< LIKE THIS >

NOTE: check the dhtml menu at the top of that link

I know that a plugin is needed for it if it is possible .. but I cant make it .. and Iam not saying that someone needs to make it .. Iam just saying ;) ... that

if you make shit like this .. then you would kick all the other installer software's assssssesss.. like REALLY HARD !!!!!! ...

With Regard, Vegeta :D

what does this have to do with installers? lobo's tooltip plugin is good enough. if nsis had any fancy feature you're thinking of, it'd probably as slow as installshield :p

It's possible to make it ;)

But the fade thing is support only on NT machines (2000/XP), I don't know the effect in lower machines. I can try in show you.

what you think?
