How could I implement the tooltip effects in the MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS via NSIS?

Currently i'm developing a installation package via NSIS for our products, however, our product manager doesn't like the default style of MUI_PAGE_COMPONENTS, so i wonder how could i implement a component page via NSIS while remove the description box and when the mouse hover on the component item the tooltip will give out the description

thanks for all your time!

You can hide the existing box using !define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE_NODESC. You would then probably need to write a plug-in to subclass the list view control in order to know when the mouse is over a node to display the tooltip.

I don't see an issue with this? You will potentially get a quicker answer and in this case it was also a better answer (how did I forget about .onMouseOverSection!)
