Mui_header_transparent_text

Hi!

I've found that when using ModernUI and defining MUI_HEADER_TRANSPARENT_TEXT, the header text and subtext flicker quite badly with each page change.

I've discovered, however, that by changing the following code starting at line 187 of Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh...



!macro MUI_HEADER_TEXT_INTERNAL ID TEXT



  GetDlgItem $MUI_TEMP1 $HWNDPARENT "${ID}"



  !ifdef MUI_HEADER_TRANSPARENT_TEXT



    ShowWindow $MUI_TEMP1 ${SW_HIDE}



  !endif



  SendMessage $MUI_TEMP1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:${TEXT}"



  !ifdef MUI_HEADER_TRANSPARENT_TEXT



    ShowWindow $MUI_TEMP1 ${SW_SHOWNA}



  !endif



!macroend
...to this...



!macro MUI_HEADER_TEXT_INTERNAL ID TEXT



  GetDlgItem $MUI_TEMP1 $HWNDPARENT "${ID}"



  !ifdef MUI_HEADER_TRANSPARENT_TEXT



    LockWindow "on"



    ShowWindow $MUI_TEMP1 ${SW_HIDE}



  !endif



  SendMessage $MUI_TEMP1 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:${TEXT}"



  !ifdef MUI_HEADER_TRANSPARENT_TEXT



    ShowWindow $MUI_TEMP1 ${SW_SHOWNA}



    LockWindow "off"



  !endif



!macroend
...the flicker goes away nicely.

Is it possible for this to be changed? Am I even requesting this change in the right way? Or is there some other way I can achieve the same thing in my own code?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Brad. 🙂

Not that I know of. This way works well.
Joost? Or the powers that be? Can this change please be made to the Modern UI code?

Thanks, Kichik!

The CVS appears to be back up now, so I've submitted a new request (#1696610) in the patch tracker.

I've been using the wonderful NSIS for over 4 years now (on the same project 😱 ), so it'd be great if I were able to contribute.
