Move ShowReadMe Check Box Down?
Hello all. I added a ReadMe Check Box to my MUI (nsis 2.02) Finish Page. Is there any way I can move it farther down the page, I currently do not have enough space for my Finishpage_Text. I'm using the MUI_FINISHPAGE_TEXT_LARGE command, but I still need more space (see jpg below). Thanks.

Open up Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh

Go to line 1387, and change "Bottom" "115" to say "Bottom" "135"

Next goto line 1518, and change
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_CURFIELD_TOP 130
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_CURFIELD_BOTTOM 140
to
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_CURFIELD_TOP 150
!define MUI_FINISHPAGE_CURFIELD_BOTTOM 160

You should make a backup copy of System.nsh first.

Afrow UK, thanks for your suggestion. At first I thought what you suggested did not work. But I was playing around with it, and found a very strange behavior.

When I make the changes you list, the view readme text line disappeared all together. However when I click outside of the Nullsoft window, on the desktop, then magically the line appears. I can also get just the box to appear if I click where I know it should be, see jpg. Moving the install window off my viewable desktop area, then back on resets the problem. What do you think?

I didn't test my values so you need to mess around a bit. I expect one control is now being overlapped by another.
