The image format is bitmap. RGB(255, 0, 255) color is considered as transparent color.

To customize the text style of the dialog title go to Text Styles tab and associate the text style with "AI_CF_TITLE_TEXT_STYLE" property.

To customize the spacing between the system menu buttons set the property "AI_CF_SYS_BTNS_SPACING". The value must be a number between 0 and 25 and represents pixels.

To customize the Y-pos of the system menu buttons set the "AI_CF_SYS_BTNS_YPOS" property. The value must be an number between 0 and 30. This number is considered a percent of the frame height.

Note To set this types of properties go to Custom Actions page and schedule under the "InstallUISeuence -> Begin" a "Property Set with Formatted" custom action.

TipFrame customization requires at least an Enterprise project.
