Vista Aero wizard
I came across this site and it talks about changing 'modern' wizards into 'aero' wizards for the Vista look. Sounds pretty simple: all it takes is one line, but then I'm not sure how the MUI is built so it could potentially be more troublesome.

Now replace PSH_WIZARD97 in the SampleWizard constructor with PSH_AEROWIZARD and you finally have the new Aero wizard interface:

Anyways, just wondering if it's possible for someone who doesn't know much about programming like me to build NSIS with this change (or maybe a programming genius can help us out?). I'm pretty sure this will be a welcome update for the rest of the community as well.

Thanks!

NSIS does not use common control property sheet pages in its UI, they are custom dialogs. This would require a complete rewrite of the GUI

Ouch. I hope that doesn't translate into 'this is something that will never get done'.

I would not hold your breath, both Unicode support and 64bit support are much more important and those are not exactly right around the corner. If look and feel is that important to you, you should stick with whatever tools MS provides instead of something that is playing catchup every time a new windows version is released
