custom page colours in footer
Thanks for everyones help so far. my installer is now taking shape. I have created multiple custom pages and would like to know if its possible to change the colour of the footer. see screenshot.

Im using: on each page with 500 * 310 image size

Function page1
nsDialogs::Create 1044
Pop $Dialog
${If} $Dialog == error
Abort
${EndIf}
${NSD_CreateBitmap} 0u 0u 100% 100% ""
Pop $Image
${NSD_SetImage} $Image $PLUGINSDIR\Page2.bmp $ImageHandle
nsDialogs::Show
${NSD_FreeImage} $ImageHandle

Functionend

Is it also possible to change the button colours?

Thanks again

Using SetCtlColors on $HWNDPARENT should do the trick. Same for buttons. Use GetDlgItem to get them. Their ids are 1 for Next, 2 for Cancel and 3 for Back.

Thanks for all your help.

I understand how to get the control with resource hacker but I can’t find the handle I need?

I have also struggled with the install files page which I’m having to use.

Code:

FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $1 $0 1006
SetCtlColors $1 ffffff 000000

FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
SetCtlColors $0 ffffff 000000

!define MUI_BGCOLOR 000000
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_PITMAP_NOSTRETCH
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "${NSISDIR\Black.bmp"

Is producing the screenshot.

I still have two issues. How do I get rid of the grey on either screens.

Thats it, well nearly. Do I have to set the branding text colour or additional contols on each window. there is a grey line dividing the screen at the top and bottom.

thx again

ok adding the following gets rid of the branding text issue.

GetDlgItem $R0 $HWNDPARENT 1028
SetCtlColors $R0 000000 000000

I think its the image sizes im using. Is there any refence that has the max image sizes/control in pixels.

Instead of changing their colours just hide them with ShowWindow $hwnd ${SW_HIDE}

Also I edited my post above (looks like you missed it). Included code for the buttons. All the code to apply colours etc to the outer dialog ($HWNDPARENT) should be in there.

i tried adding:, to both your function and or to the section

FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1036
ShowWindow $HWNDPARENT ${SW_HIDE}

but his seems to close the whole window. i thought 1036 was the control I was looking for? I still have the grey line.

I don't think you know what you're doing. What do you expect if you hide $HWNDPARENT?

Your function should look like this:

Function myOnGUIInit
  SetCtlColors $HWNDPARENT ffffff 000000
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1
  SetCtlColors $0 ffffff 000000
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 2
  SetCtlColors $0 ffffff 000000
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 3
  SetCtlColors $0 ffffff 000000
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1035
  ShowWindow $0 ${SW_HIDE}
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1036
  ShowWindow $0 ${SW_HIDE}
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1045
  ShowWindow $0 ${SW_HIDE}
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1028
  ShowWindow $0 ${SW_HIDE}
  GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1256
  ShowWindow $0 ${SW_HIDE}
FunctionEnd
