How to increase the text size appearing on MUI Pages

[Venu]

Hi all,

Can any one tell me how can I increase the size of the text appearing on MUI_WELCOMEPAGE. The text I want to display using MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT seems to be small. Is there any way to increase its font size.

Thanks
Venu

see the documentation
there's a define to do that.
search the readme.html for "3LINES"

code:


!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE_3LINES

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

and it works perfectly due to answer in this thread ! ^^

I have a custom page with title that is too long to display entirely, can i and how i use the _3LINES statment in this case ?

code:


Page custom CustomPageA CustomPageALeave

...

Function CustomPageA

    !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "$(TEXT_IO_TITLE)" "$(TEXT_IO_SUBTITLE)"

    !insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "setup.ini"

Only works going forward

This code works when the Welcome page appears. But if you click Back from the next page, it reverts to normal. (BTW I think it's kind of ridiculous that one has to jump through hoops to bold some text on the welcome page - this is such a common requirement.)

seems to work fine for me..

code:


!include mui.nsh

!include WinMessages.nsh



!define MUI_PAGE_CUSTOMFUNCTION_SHOW wel_show

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME



!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"



OutFile "c:\testsetup.exe"



Function wel_show

        FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT

        GetDlgItem $1 $0 1202

        CreateFont $0 "$(^Font)" "10" ""

        SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETFONT} $0 0

FunctionEnd

It's not really that many hoops - you can easily abstract the function to something like ${SetTextSize} <control> <size>. Of course if you just want to define your Welcome page using e.g. Word and define the markup of elements there... perhaps NSIS is not the most appropriate solution.

How to increase the text size of Welcome Page Text

Hello All,

I wanted to make the text size slightly bigger in the Welcome Page Text. I assume it now uses Tahoma 8. When I set font using SetFont "Tahoma" 10", the dialogs height and width also becomes larger and all the pages fonts change. I have also tried the code from the link

https://nsis-dev.github.io/NSIS-Forums/html/t-193848.html

But I am facing the same issue mentioned in the link - "This code works when the Welcome page appears. But if you click Back from the next page, it reverts to normal."

Please help!!!

FindWindow might find the wrong window, you should be using $MUI_HWND.

You can also read the HWND from the .ini

Var WizNormFont

Function wel_show
    StrCmp "" $WizNormFont "" +2
    CreateFont $WizNormFont "$(^Font)" "10" ""
    !insertmacro INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $1 "ioSpecial.ini" "Field 3" "HWND" #GetDlgItem $1 $MUI_HWND 1202
    SendMessage $1 ${WM_SETFONT} $WizNormFont 0
FunctionEnd

Hi,

The given code has helped me to change the font of first page. I have a question related to changing font globally.

When I set font as - SetFont "Tahoma" 9, though this changes the font in all pages, at the same time the installer pages width and height is also increased. I think the default font is 8. So I suppose changing from 8 -> 9 should not increase the dimensions of the installer window. Can anyone clarify?

Dialogs use something called dialog units, not pixels, when it first displays the dialog. Dialog units are based on the font size.
