Feature Idea: Label on BGBG

Ya know how "other" installers have a large white caption in the upper left corner of the "Big Gay Blue Gradient". It'd be nice if NSIS would display the "Name" or "Caption" variable. I guess "Caption" makes the most sense.

Peace.

I was caught with this one at first.

It's meant to write text there. You have to specify a colour though, as in (off the top of my head):

BGGradient 0000FF 000000 FFFFFF

to make a gradient blue at the top, black at the bottom and with white text.

I think that this is a bug of some sort, because otherwise there would be no use for the 'notext' option.

Thanks petersa!

That worked nicely. Just what I was looking for. Seems that should be on by default. Anyhow. Thanks for the tip.
