MUI_PAGE_WELCOME - how to change labels?
Hello!

How to change labels for text/title etc on welcome page?
My installer has two states: installer or actualizer. For each i must change labels for:
MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE
MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT
InstallButtonText

But when i use this code i got empty strings:

Var install_button_text
Var welcome_title
Var welcome_text
...
!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_PRE WelcomePagePre
!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE '$welcome_title'
!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT '$welcome_text'
InstallButtonText $install_button_text
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

...
Function WelcomePagePre
strcpy $install_mode '0' ; test value
${if} $install_mode == '0'
strcpy $install_button_text "Actualize"
strcpy $welcome_title "Welcome title for actualization"
strcpy $welcome_text "Welcome text for actualization"
${else}
strcpy $install_button_text "Install"
strcpy $welcome_title "Welcome title for installation"
strcpy $welcome_text "Welcome text for installation"
${endif}
MessageBox MB_OK "$welcome_title$\n$welcome_text"
FunctionEnd

How to change these labels?

Weird... this works as it's supposed to do:
EDIT: InstallButtonText should be replaced with MiscButtonText and must be initialized in function .onInit

Hmmm....
I use UltraModernUI - how to improve my code for this UI? It's still beta, but my Boss doesn't like MUI :/
