Portable Network Graphic?

wouldn't it be nicer to make the setup-bitmaps (checkboxes) and the splash screen in popular PNG? this not only saves filsize, it also allows transparent areas. nifty effect for the splash screen and valuable for the checkboxes.

The last thing this will do is save file size. If you want to be able to read PNG you will to include a PNG reader library and that would increase the installer size. You can also use OLELoadPicture but that requires a certian version of IE.

This thread talks about splash screen and transparency:

Are you a developer who uses NSIS to distribute your application? Are you a Winamp plug-in developer who wants to use NSIS to distribute your plug-in? Have suggestions for other people like you? This is the place.

Maybe you can help snowchyld...
