Underline text/link
Hey,

I wanna underline my show readme text, and the link text i got on the finish page. I have tried text no luck, do i need to make a function or something to get underlining available?

The link is formatted by the nsDialogs plugin (MUI2). If you need to underline the link you need to modify the plugin and rebuild.

You can try this:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html#4.9.14.2

!include WinMessages.nsh
GetDlgItem $0 $HWNDPARENT 1
CreateFont $1 "Times New Roman" "7" "700" /UNDERLINE
SendMessage $0 ${WM_SETFONT} $1 1

That creates underline font and set it to $0

But this is not working for CheckBoxes (There is some API restriction I suppose), so you need to create manuall a CheckBox and Label next to it.

I very much doubt that will work because on mouse over underlining is added to the text by nsDialogs. This underlining is removed on mouse out.

Edit: Ah nsDialogs doesn't do that so the code may work.
