<p class="header">How to use</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="text">The Modern UI has a macro system, so most of the code
|
|
|
|
|
has already been written for you!<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to use the Modern UI is to customize one of the <a href="#examples">example</a>
|
|
|
|
|
scripts, but you can also modify an existing script.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
There are 7 things you need to insert in an existing script to use the
|
|
|
|
|
Modern UI (in order).<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">1. Insert the header files</span><br><br>

|
|
|
|
|
There are two different versions of the interface.
|
|
|
|
|
Modern.exe contains the dialogs of the standard interface.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have an installer with a lot of subsections
|
|
|
|
|
or long section names, use modern2.exe, which has a different
|
|
|
|
|
component-selection page.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">Customize the dialogs</span><br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
To change elements on the dialogs, modify modern.exe or modern2.exe in the
|
|
|
|
|
Contrib\UIs directory using a resource editor such as
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/">Resource Hacker</a>.<br><br>
|
|
|
|
|
The 'Loading Setup' text on the splash screen which
|
|
|
|
|
is being displayed when the installer is starting (Verifying
|
|
|
|
|
installer, Unpacking data when using COMPRESS_WHOLE) cannot
|
|
|
|
|
be changed by the script, because the installer is not started
|
|
|
|
|
yet when this dialog is being displayed. If you want to change
|
|
|
|
|
this text, modify dialog 111 of modern(2).exe.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
The 'verifying installer' and 'unpacking data' texts are defined in
|
|
|
|
|
the language header file of the NSIS exehead (Source\exehead\lang.h).
|
|
|
|
|
To change them, you need to edit this file and recompile NSIS.</p>
