Skin builder and win 7 issue
I made my own skin for the installer with skin builder. Everything works fine in XP but if I need to pop up a message box I have a problem with 7.
I put the link to an image showing the problem. What I have missed in my skin? Message box should be uniform in its color. no with the button background white. And this problem appears only in 7

This is not a bug, this is a feature of Win 7 :)

Win 7 MessageBoxes consist from two parts: Upper one [black on your picture] and lower one with buttons.
The lower one could not be skinned with skinbuilder.
Maybe the SkinBuilder team will add this feature in some new version.

:cry: uff... ok... thanks for the news. What can I use instead of it? Or how can I customize it?

I am thinking to make a macro for creating message boxes with nsDialogs but I need to set the size of it

mmm yes. It could be useful but I didn't find where is written how to set the window size.
