neither

ChangeUI IDD_VERIFY "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\UIs\modern2.exe"

!define MUI_UI "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\UIs\modern2.exe"
ChangeUI all "${MUI_UI}"

did it.

I also copied
!include "MUI2.nsh"
which leads to "system2.nsh" and that refers again to "modern2.exe

I did something similar to dialog 111 before (thread can be found here), but any attempt now is refused - i always get the normal window (30 pixel smaller)

I am *not familiar with RECT nor some code to change.

Pls help.

Just use !define MUI_UI "myUI.exe".
Modern UI should call ChangeUI for you.

sorry, didn't made it
is it important that it is an IO ?

If you make 105 larger, you make space for all dialogs larger too. 105 is used as the base for all the others (using the grey rect in the middle.)

I just resized 105 in a copy of modern.exe that I put in the same folder as my script, used !define MUI_UI modern.exe, and it works with no problems.

Try this UI. I've made it 30 pixels taller.
Place it in same folder as script and use:
!define MUI_UI "modern.exe"

Not possible - i'm getting upset.
The MUI example works, but not any of my other installers.

Ok i got it - it's a bug when defining a header bitmap, tried every example now - that's the only one.
Thanks for your help.

##
it's about line 140 (system.nsh)
>> !ifdef MUI_HEADERIMAGE

>> IDD_INST
>> 105
is modified

Ah right!!
In that case, you need to modify the modern_headerbitmap.exe UI.
I think that one might overwrite the modern one completely, but I'm not 100% on that.
