instfiles page issues

spkelly86 · 13th September 2012, 18:14

I am trying to adjust the size of the detail view on the instfiles page. I would like to make it about half as large. I've tried adjusting it using Resource Hacker but it always messes up the integrity of the file. Also the text above the progress bar has a blue box around it for some reason. I am using UMUI and have a background skin. I would like for the text to just blend in with the background. Thanks in advance

You have to use resource hacker on a UI .exe file and then use the ChangeUI command (UMUI probably has a define for it)

Thanks that solved the problem with the size of the dialog. I am still having the issue with the display box being blue posted a picture to show. Any help would be appreciated. Like I said i want it to just blend with the background and not have the blue box.

Maybe there is a define for it, it is normally not blue. If not, use SetCtlColors...

Try:
SetCtlColors $Item_ID "0x000000" transparent
