Theme Issues.

[Codename K]

Hello,

I am using Spring LightSkyBlue theme. In the built-in dialogs the image button looks like this with the arrow,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mVGztH ... sp=sharing

But, if you add a custom dialog, then the image button is shown like this without the arrow,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mLI3aI ... sp=sharing

How to make the image buttons same on all dialogs in this theme?

Also, the controls shown by this image,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mVryte ... sp=sharing

These and other controls seem to be set Visible = False and only show based on this Control Condition = (NOT AIEXTERNALUI) OR (AI_IE_Ver < "06"). What does this mean?

Hello K,

This happens because the Spring theme is developed using HTML.

On these dialogs we use an html control (TabHost) which contains the whole page in HTML.

If you want to make the new dialogs to look the same, you have to write that in HTML and work less with the Dialog Editor.

Here are the steps:

1. Create a new dialog, hide the existing controls from it. On this theme we show them only if IE doesn't work.

2. Add the TabHost control:

3. Create your .html template. You can start from our already created html dialogs.

You can find the .html templates in the following path:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 19.5\themes\spring\resources\html

You can use the attached newdialog.html template which I made. You have to customize this as per your needs.

You can check the other dialogs template content.

4. Add your newly created .html file as a Temporary File (we need the file to be available at the beginning of the installation):

5. Now link your template with the HtmlHost control:

Please find attached the sample project.

Hope this helps!

Best regards,

Hello,

In the Spring LightSkyBlue theme, the Control Condition is added with this value (NOT AIEXTERNALUI) OR (AI_IE_Ver < "06") for many controls. However, it would seem that one main control have been missed out with this.

I added prerequisites in this theme and it showed the prerequisite dialog windows in the Dialogs section. In the dialog WelcomePrereqDlg, the Description label does not have this condition, which makes the installer to show both the labels with and without the IE.

Just letting you know of this issue.
