Dressed Up Banner?
Hello all.

I was just wondering if there is currently a way, or if an enhancement could added, to allow for a Banner that was a bit more dressed up? I have attached a JPG of Wise's Banner as an example. I have written a couple utility installers that run silently, and I would love to add some color or logos. Thanks!

I could make a subfunction to my MSIBanner plugin, but my TODO is pretty much in top. Right now I'm working in this GDIplus image viewer, than I'll make and update to my XMLParser...

I might use this idea in a near future :)

I published this script earlier, but now added image replacement on the Directory page (so you can change image during installation). BMP only (and some other MS formats, not JPEG), but NSIS compressor helps to reduce file size. If image sizes differ, use something like MoveWindow() to update banner size. Not the best, but works. Sound enabled ;)

I'm planing to make one with support to BMP, WMF, JPG, GIF, PNG, TIFF and a few more... all this with the power of the GDI+ ;)
