NSIS + UMUI - text position and progress bar problem
Hello. I would like to ask you about two things related to UMUI/NSIS.

First one. I don't know how to move text at any page. I would like to move header and text in the middle. I was trying to do something with .ini files but it didn't work.

The other thing is I don't want to display which files are installed/modified/removed etc. etc.. I would like to see "Extracting files..." instead of "Extract: eagleeye.exe". Is it possible to remove filenames?

I was trying to edit those things by editing ini files and editing UMUI.nsh file. But still got nothing. Is here anyone who could pass me the solution to my problem?


1) You have to edit the dialog with resource hacker to move the texts (Search for Resource Hacker for more info).

2) Before extracting the files (the File commands) add


SetDetailsPrint textonly
DetailPrint "Extracting files..."
SetDetailsPrint none

Thank you for your help! The second one works but ResHack seems to does not work with UMUI.

When you use the skinned controls plugin, the INSTFILES page UI is changed by the "UltraModern_sb.exe" UI

You need to edite the Dialog 106 of the UI "UltraModern_sb.exe"

You can also use the UMUI_UI_SB define to change the INSTFILES page UI when buttons are skinned.

Thank you for your solution SuperPat. That worked! EOT.


BTW, I absolutely LOVE the Eagle background!
Very impressive!
