A couple of Custom UI questions.
Hi guys.


I've been reading through the NSIS manual and searching this forum, but I haven't been able to find anything that helps me with the following.

I'm jumping in at the deep end and creating my own installation pages (I'm quite new to NSIS), so here are the main questions I have :


(1) How can I make the background colour of Text elements white (as seen in MUI_PAGE_LICENSE)?

(2) How can I add simple white blocks to the UI, to use as a background for some of the buttons etc?

(3) How can I populate a Text element with text from an external .txt file (as seen in MUI_PAGE_LICENSE), and set the image used in an Icon element?


Thanks in advanced for any feedback. I'm still an NSIS newb, so most of the example code I've seen still looks a bit alien to me at the moment. Any examples-for-newbs would be very handy. :tinfoil:

PS: You've probably guessed this already but I'm using Install Options files for the page layouts.


Take a look at InstallOptionsEx in the Wiki.
