InstallShield 2016
Project • This information applies to the following project types:
| • | Advanced UI |
| • | Suite/Advanced UI |
Edition • The Advanced UI project type is available in the Professional edition of InstallShield. The Suite/Advanced UI project type is available in the Premier edition of InstallShield. For information about the differences between these two project types, see Advanced UI Projects vs. Suite/Advanced UI Projects.
By default, InstallShield enables you to use different brushes for the header, body, and navigation areas of your wizard pages. In some cases, though, you may want to use only one brush (for example, a single background image or a vertical gradient) that spans all three of those areas. The following instructions explain how to customize using three different brushes or one brush.
Tip • For information on defining brushes, see Defining a Custom Brush for the Wizard Interface.
Using Three Different Brushes for the Header, Body, and Navigation Areas
To use three different brushes for the header, body, and navigation areas:
| 1. | In the View List under User Interface, click Wizard Interface. |
| 2. | In the Wizard Interface explorer, click Wizard Pages. The global wizard interface settings are available in the right pane. |
| 3. | In the Default Body Background setting, select the brush that you want to use as the background for the body area of the wizard interface. |
| 4. | In the Header Background setting, select the brush that you want to use as the background for the header area of the wizard interface. |
| 5. | In the Navigation Background setting, select the brush that you want to use as the background for the navigation area of the wizard interface. |
Important • Note that if you select a brush in the aforementioned background settings, you should delete any value in the Full Wizard Background setting. The wizard interface supports use of a single brush for the full wizard background, or separate brushes for the header, body, and navigation areas; it does not support specification of brushes for all four of those areas simultaneously.
Using One Brush that Spans the Header, Body, and Navigation Areas
To use a single brush for the header, body, and navigation areas:
| 1. | In the View List under User Interface, click Wizard Interface. |
| 2. | In the Wizard Interface explorer, click Wizard Pages. The global wizard interface settings are available in the right pane. |
| 3. | In the Full Wizard Background setting, select the brush that you want to use as the background for the navigation, body, and navigation areas of the wizard interface. |
Important • Note that if you select a brush in the aforementioned setting, you should delete any values from the other background settings: Default Body Background, Header Background, and Navigation Background. The wizard interface supports use of a single brush for the full wizard background, or separate brushes for the header, body, and navigation areas; it does not support specification of brushes for all four of those areas simultaneously.
