Replacing the headerimage with each page
Hey guys. I'm writing a custom UI for an installer which has 6 steps. We're using ExperienceUI and a custom skin that I've put together for which the code is shown below. I have also used Resource Hacker to go under the UI.exe file included in Contrib\ExperienceUI\UIs to edit the sizes of the graphics and the layering of items so that I can put my background skin in the installer and completely customize the look and feel.

What I want to do is replace the header image that is declared below during each step of the process and show a Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 graphic on each step.

Can this be done? How is it done? I've tried several redraw methods as well as show and hides. Can someone please shed some light on how this works? Thanks!

Here is the NSI functions we're using to invoke the pages

Function Page1
!insertmacro XPUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "Page1.ini"
FunctionEnd

Function Page2
!insertmacro XPUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "Page2.ini"
FunctionEnd


Here is the SKIN that I'm using.
