How to display a banner image on all dialogs ?I'm using MUI2

Alfaromeo · 17th March 2008, 11:32

I would like to display a banner image on my installer dialogs . When the image is displayed it should not hide the text already there in the dialogs. For example the destination dialog has "Choose the destination dialog location" text. So this image should appear as a background under this text

Use one of the following:

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/EBanner_plug-in
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/AnimGif_plug-in

Please find the attached image. If you look at it on the right hand side on the top of the dialog, you can see an image .
I have used the following to have it done

!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_RIGHT
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "Banner.bmp"
!define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_UNBITMAP "Banner.bmp"
But, I'm not able to stretch that image across the text area. It wither appears on the left or on the right. I want to strecth completely on the top of the dialog as shown byt the red line

I have the Ebanner plugin. But not able to do it using the same .
Please advice

Hi,

I would like to know whether we need to put up so much lines of code to just display a banner !!

Is that the only way ? In InstallShield , it's just drag and drop the BMP and stretch the image to have it done .
