<p class="header">Introduction</p>
<p class="text">Using NSIS 2, it is possible
to create new user interfaces for the Nullsoft Installer System.</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 icons (designed by adni18) and a description
area on the component select dialog.</p>
<p class="text">To use this new UI for for installer, you need
to add some code to your NSIS script. Read this document for more info!</p>
<p class="header">Requirements</p>
<p class="text"><a href="http://nsis.sourceforge.net">NSIS 2 beta 0 (or later)</a></p>
<p class="header">Screenshot</p>
<p class="text"><img src="Screenshot.png" width="504" height="391" alt=""></p>
<p class="header">How to use</p>
<p class="text">Have a look at the basic example script, Basic.nsi.
This is an example of how the use this interface for your NSIS
installer. The macro system also has multilanguage support,
see MultiLanguage.nsi for a multilanguage example. And if you
want to use Install Options (for extra pages in your installer,
like Start Menu folder selection etc.) have a look at InstallOptions.nsi,
which is an example of the new Install Options macro system.</p>
<p class="text">If you have an installer with a lot of subsections
or long section names, use the modern2.exe UI, which has a larger
treeview for the component selection. To use modern2.exe, change
the first parameter of the MUI_INTERFACE macro.</p>
<p class="header">Customize the interface</p>
<p class="text">To change elements on the dialogs, modify modern.exe
or modern2.exe in the Contrib\UIs folder using a a resource
editor such as <a href="http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/">Resource
Hacker</a>.</p>
<p class="text">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.</p>
<p class="text">To '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>
