NSIS and screen depth
Hi all ,

I'm newbie with NSIS installation programm.

It is possible with Nsis to check the resolution and screen depth ?
Or set the screen to a specified resolution ?

In advance thanks

You'll need to write an extension dll for that.

the the ExDLL folder, of your contrib folder for the sdk.

C:\Program Files\NSIS\Contrib\ExDLL

or the like.

Hi Shaders,

here's a file I created for TDLBack as you could have read in the other thread posted by KiCHiK. It has possibilities to get screen res and set screen colors. Dll is written in Delphi. The installer for TDLBack provides an example of the usage.

Have fun with it, good luck,
-Hendri.

Hi Killahbite,

this is far off-topic, so only a short response:
Angry? No, why would I. Nice to have friends around the globe :).

As a special treat and because of the silent request of SunJammer ;), here's an update of the TDLBack package: the desktop package. The previous package was taken from an installer I created myself. I didn't have time then to document it in a nice way. The current package is well-documented and even a bit more general: you can choose the color for the background ;). I didn't do that before since I didn't need it.

[edit]
BMP and JPEG pictures can be installed using the dll. For installing JPEG pictures, the ActiveDesktop needs to be enabled.

Have fun with it, greetz,
