Big problems with the Background color
I am so sorry but I have steel big problems with the background color, I attach 2 files to show you the problem, the SetCtlColors works but my background stay grey and I would like it be white, do you have more ideas than all that I tried ???

My licence page is a MUI_PAGE and the login page is a custom page

I found the problem before I decide to add the license page, I had :

GetDlgItem $R7 $HWNDPARENT 1 ; Control the color of the external padding of the window
SetCtlColors $HWNDPARENT ${DlgBackgroundColor} ${DlgBackgroundColor}

# Control the Background Color
GetDlgItem $R8 $HWNDPARENT 0 ; Control the color of the contain of the window
SetCtlColors $R8 ${DlgBackgroundColor} ${DlgBackgroundColor}

# 1028 is the id of the branding text control
FindWindow $R9 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT ; Control the color of the branding text of the window
GetDlgItem $R9 $HWNDPARENT 1028
SetCtlColors $R9 ${DlgBackgroundColor} ${DlgBackgroundColor}

But with the new page MUI_PAGE_LICENSE I totaly lost the GetDlgItem $R8 $HWNDPARENT 0 and it's because of this line I lost that I can't paint the inside of the window in white. I managed to color the external border and the bottom part of the window but I totaly lost the inside, does anyone have an idea about it ?

When I add the license page before my custom page, NSIS consider the :

GetDlgItem $R7 $HWNDPARENT 1

GetDlgItem $R8 $HWNDPARENT 0

Like the same thing, it change the same thing (the inside border around the window) but when I don't add it, NSIS consider the two parameters like two different things (the inside border arround the window AND the inside of the window)

I don't have any solution to fix that.
