<p class="text">NSIS 2 makes it is possible to create installers
with a custom user interface.</p>
<p class="text"> I made this interface with a modern wizard style,
like the wizards of recent Windows versions. This new interface
also features new graphics and a description area on the
component-selection page.</p>
<p class="text">To use this new interface for for installer, you need
to add some code to your NSIS script. Read this document for more info!</p>

<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!</p>
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">Basic Macro System</span><br>
For most scripts, you can use the basic macro system. The basic
macro system inserts all code and functions for you. For an example,
have a look at <a href="../../Examples/Modern UI/Basic.nsi">Basic.nsi</a>.<br><br>
To remove certain default NSIS pages (such as the License page),
remove a define at the top of the page (for example, remove
!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE), and remove the other instructions for
the page (for example, LicenseData).</p>
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">Advanced Macro System, Install Options</span><br>
If you want put your own code in certain NSIS functions or
want to use custom installer pages, use the Advanced Macro
System. The code will still be inserted using the macro's,
but you can customize a lot of things, add your own code or
add new pages.<br><br>
Using the Install Options macro's, it's also very easy to use
custom pages in your installer. Just add a new Page command
between the other page commands: Page [function name] and call
Install Options in [function name] using the
MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_SHOW macro.<br><br>
Have a look at <a href="../../Examples/Modern UI/InstallOptions.nsi">
InstallOptions.nsi</a> for an example of the Install Options
and the Advanced Macro System.</p>
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">Multilanguage installers</span><br>
The Modern UI has full multilanguage support and also uses
language files which can be translated easily. You can find the
language files in the Contrib\Modern UI\Language files directory.
There are already a lot of translations available, but you can
also make your own translation.<br>
See <a href="../../Examples/Modern UI/MultiLanguage.nsi">MultiLanguage.nsi</a>
for a multilanguage example using the Basic Macro System.
<p class="header">The interface</p>
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">Modern.exe and modern2.exe</span><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">Change interface settings</span><br>
You can change the settings of the interface
by usings defines before you insert the MUI_INTERFACE macro.<br>
Example: !define MUI_UI "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\UIs\modern2.exe"<br>
If you don't define a setting, the default will be used.<br><br>
The following settings are available: <i>(default)</i><br>
<span class="bold">MUI_ICON</span> <i>(${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Icons\modern-install.ico)</i>
- The icon of the instaleller<br>
<span class="bold">MUI_UNICON</span> <i>(${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Icons\modern-uninstall.ico)</i>
- The icon of the uninstaleller<br>
<span class="bold">MUI_CHECKBITMAP</span> <i>(${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Icons\modern.bmp)</i>
- The bitmap with images for the checks of the
component select treeview.<br>
<span class="bold">MUI_UI</span> <i>(${NSISDIR}\Contrib\UIs\modern.exe)</i>
- The interface file with the dialog resources<br>
<span class="bold">MUI_FONT</span> <i>(Tahoma)</i>
- The font of the installer and uninstaller<br>
<span class="bold">MUI_INSTALLCOLORS</span> <i>(/windows)</i>
- The hexadecimal colors of the details screen ("foreground" "background")<br>
<span class="bold">MUI_PROGRESSBAR</span> <i>(smooth)</i>
- The style of the progress bar ("colored" to use the MUI_INSTALLCOLORS or ""
for a old-school windows look)</p>
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">Customize the dialogs</span><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>

<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>
<pre class="margin">!include "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh"</pre></p>

!define VERSION "1.0" ;Define your own software version here</pre></p>
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">3. Define which elements you are using</span></br><br>
The Modern UI should know which things it should insert. Use the following defines:<br><br>
<pre class="margin">!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE ;License page
!define MUI_COMPONENTSPAGE ;Component-selection page
!define MUI_DIRECTORYPAGE ;Directory-selection page
!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE ;License page

<pre class="margin">!include "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Modern UI\Language files\English.nsh"</pre></p>
<p class="text"><span class="subheader">5. Interface settings (optional)</span><br><br>
You can change the settings of the interface by usings defines:<br>
