How to increase the text size appearing on MUI Pages
Hi all,

Can any one tell me how can I increase the size of the text appearing on MUI_WELCOMEPAGE. The text I want to display using MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT seems to be small. Is there any way to increase its font size.

Thanks
Venu

Hi,

i use :


!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_3LINES
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

and it works perfectly due to answer in this thread ! ^^

I have a custom page with title that is too long to display entirely, can i and how i use the _3LINES statment in this case ?


Page custom CustomPageA CustomPageALeave
...
Function CustomPageA
    !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "$(TEXT_IO_TITLE)" "$(TEXT_IO_SUBTITLE)"
    !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "setup.ini"
FunctionEnd

Thank you

Only works going forward
This code works when the Welcome page appears. But if you click Back from the next page, it reverts to normal. (BTW I think it's kind of ridiculous that one has to jump through hoops to bold some text on the welcome page - this is such a common requirement.)

seems to work fine for me..


!include mui.nsh
!include WinMessages.nsh

!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW wel_show
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

OutFile "c:\testsetup.exe"

Function wel_show
        FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
        GetDlgItem $1 $0 1202
        CreateFont $0 "$(^Font)" "10" ""
        SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETFONT} $0 0
FunctionEnd

It's not really that many hoops - you can easily abstract the function to something like ${SetTextSize} <control> <size>. Of course if you just want to define your Welcome page using e.g. Word and define the markup of elements there... perhaps NSIS is not the most appropriate solution.
