[NSIS 2.4)Again some questions
Hi guys,

thanks for ur answers in my last thread . it was getting confusing in that thread, so i opened a new one...
my questions are:

1.)Is it possible to display a big picture, which fills the whole monitor (or the most part of it) in the background, when the Program is being installed by NSIS? (like in a game installation)

2.) How to play a sound at the starting of a installation?

3.) Is it possible to change the background colour (which is grey)?

4.) i wrote XPStyle on at the starting of my script, but the xp style was not used by nsis. why?

5:) Is it possible to increase the size of the installation window?

thanks guys, i hope u can help me again :)

1) look at the example in NSIS\Examples\BgImage
2) same example also plays a sound
3) yes do a search in the forums for background color or control colors I think theres some mui macro that does it
4) not sure
5) yes get a program called resource hacker http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ and open whatever modern ui exe file your installer uses ,there in NSIS\Contrib\UIs and then resize everything
