Position of section descriptions

In some installers made with NSIS I saw the components' description box below the listbox of the components, not to its right side, as it seems to be the normal way. How do I achieve that? Is the listbox widened automatically to the right if the description box is placed below it?

Yep, that was it. Thanks.

But the description box seems to give place for two line only (remainder disappears). Is there a way of making it scrollable?

The description will disappear as soon as the user moves away the mouse cursor from the section, so using a scrollbox would make no sens, because the user couldn't use it anyway...

@LoRd_MuldeR:
Yes, that's clear. But I meant something different. Is there a way to enlarge the box vertically?

@Afrow UK:
How do I do that?

another recommendation is XN Resource Editor, opensource and modern. i don't know if it has commandline-support though, like ResHacker.
