NSIS: header images and sidebar images

I'm trying to figure out how to add a header image with a custom width (not the standard 150x57 pixels).. my logo is a bit wider.

I'm also trying to figure out how I can add an image on the left-hand side of the installer window during the installation (product logo or something).

Can someone help me with accomplishing this in the Modern GUI interface?

Thanks in advance

Cappie,

The commands to add the header and left panel images are as follows:

!define MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP "Panel.bmp"
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "Header.bmp"

As far as your wider image, i would re-size it first to the normal 150x57 size. Also the image on the left hand side, i believe that will only be present on the Start and Finish pages.

Hope this helps.

You need to use AddBrandingImage, but I think that it'll add one throughout the whole installer.
The only other alternative is that you add a new bitmap control into the modern.exe UI with Resource Hacker.

Yeah! I'm going to try that in a few minutes, thnx!

Where can I find which things I can add to an .nsi install script? I didn't remember seeing MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP in the help...

Thanks again for the help 🙂

Should be linked to in your start button group for NSIS.

Umm, I found this topic and I tried this, but my headerbitmap was on the left instead of the right... How do I fix that? I am using the same code as suggested...

!define MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP "Panel.bmp" 

!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE 

!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT

!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "Header.bmp"
