More 'Transparent' controls please!

[harmn1]

Would it be possible to extend the 'Transparent' property to work on more types of dialog control, please? Currently it's available for Static Text, and that's about it. The following would be useful, if possible:

• Checkboxes
  Radio Buttons
  Radio Groups
  Group Boxes

The worst offender at the moment is the radio group - I can't find any way to create a license agreement dialog without an ugly grey rectangle all over my corporate branding! I suppose it might be possible to replace the two radio buttons with check boxes (without captions) and make them mutually-exclusive by using events. Then I could put in static text fields, which can be transparent, instead of check box captions. It's a long-winded solution, though!

Hi,

The controls you mentioned will have transparency starting with the next version of Advanced Installer. This improvement is part of a more complex feature which will allow you to customize the installation UI even further. The 7.0 version is scheduled for release this week.

Hi

I just udpated to AI 7.1.3 from 6.9.1, but I still can't see a 'Transparency' option for radio groups.

Is this feature supported yet or not?

Hi,

The transparency is enabled automatically when using enhanced User Interface. For this you can check the "Use enhanced User Interface" option in the Theme tab of the "Global Properties" page.

Note that the default MSI UI is shown by Windows Installer and cannot be improved.
