how to customize installer buttons
Hi all,
I'm trying to create a custom installer and now I need to change the style of the buttons (cancel, next,...). Is there a way to do it without using the skinnedbutton plugin?
The latter works only if I disable the xpstyle (XpStyle off), but if I do it then the droplist that I created in my installer no longer works.

I tried also using the "SetCtlColors $R0 "0x928e8e" transparent" comand but it does not work.
And if I manually create the buttons then they all have always the default style.

Thank you very much for your help.

In what way does your drop list not work with XPStyle off?

I created the droplist using:

${NSD_CreateDropList} 20u 83u 50% 13u ""
Pop $OpCoDropList

If I turn off the XpStyle It simply does not expand the the list. I can see the first element but if I click on it with the mouse then nothing happens. I can browse the elements only using the keyboard arrows.
I thought this was a known issue, isn't it?

Thanks

The height of a combobox (when you create the control) is the size of the dropdown, not the "edit" box

ok now it works. Thanks

but now I have an other question: is there a way to style the scrollbar in the license page?
