Re: How to change the colors on the surface theme

Hello,

The frame is split in parts. A predefined property and a image is associated with every part. A part is identified by the associated property.
In the Images Tab from the Themes page you can specify custom images that can be displayed on the dialogs or controls. A preview of an image is showed in the lower pane if that image is selected in the list.
You can also take a look on the Installation user interface frame customization article which may be useful to you.

If you have other questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Re: How to change the colors on the surface theme

Hi,

Have you tried changing the frame_caption.bmp image from the resources folder of Advanced Installer? E.g. the default path is:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 12.0\themes\common-res\frame\metrolime
In the Images Tab you specify custom images that can be displayed on the dialogs. A preview of an image is showed in the lower pane if that image is selected in the list.

Should there be any difficulty you encounter implementing something, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
Dan

Are you changing the theme colour as well? If not, you should not change the gray colour. Instead, change the EULA text colour in a text editor (e.g. wordpad).
