Background image issue with Ultra Modern UI

Short of buying a licence to Graphical Installer, which I could not afford tbh, is there a way to get rid of these blue-coloured swatches off the labels and other such controls without causing any glitches or something?

This is a known problem because these controls can see their contents changed and if they are made transparent, the new text gets written over the old one and becomes unreadable.
I've tried several methods to remedy this, but each one of them causes an unpleasant blink of the screen on move over different components.

For the "Description" label, making it transparent reveals the bar below it.

Come on, 18 bucks (personal) or 49 bucks (commercial) is too much for this great software (Graphical Installer)?

Btw. all NSIS registered users on this forum have -20% discount, see this thread: showthread.php?p=3140074 (sorry for little promo)

Using SetCtlColors ... transparent will not work for all controls - GroupBox (the caption) does not support it.
Try to play with .onMouseOverSection function to remove the components mouse over issue.

Well that's quite a drag. As for T. Slappy's tool, I could try his, but while I do consider getting a personal licence, I am over the fence tbh.

Also, is it possible to apply XP themes to the controls e.g. radio buttons and such? Well since they still use the oldschool 9x theme and all.

"XPStyle on" will request basic theme support. UMUI might have a define for it, I don't know. (The components list uses a image, not theming)

Tried it, though for some reason the controls still remain unskinned.
