I quote from my reply to the bug report and the nsis forum thread: ---------------------- The reason for this is that there is no source for the UIs (other than default.exe), and I've generally not installed stuff that doesn't have source code. According to [1], there is no available source code, so I guess I'll just include them in the next upload. In the meantime, please test the package as much as possible (with your own .nsi files, and or with the examples) so I can fix as many problems as I can in the next upload (rather than fixing just this bug). It would be especially useful if you could copy the exe files from the orig.tar.gz and place them in /usr/share/nsis/Contrib/UIs and test the modern UI. 1. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?postid=1642451#post1642451 ---- Generation of Contrib\UIs\modern*.exe, Contrib\UIs\sdbarker_tiny.exe? Does anyone have any more info on how Contrib\UIs\modern*.exe and Contrib\UIs\sdbarker_tiny.exe are generated than "All of the other executables are modified versions of default.exe. Resource Hacker was used to modify them."? Are there .rc files for the changes? ---- There's no more information. That's how they were generated. If you want to generate them from source, you might want to try to extract the resources and recompile them with windres. But unless you must not include any executables in your package, there's no reason to recompile those. ---- Hmm, ok, I'll just include them then, since the .exe files can be considered source code in and of themselves. Out of curiosity, what exactly were the changes? ---- Only the dialog resources were changed. That's what the ChangeUI command uses. Open them with a resource editor or use ChangeUI to use them and see how it differs from the default UI. ----------------------- > Looking at the bug database, it looks like one day later than this > email, the bug got already filed as #304678 into the bug database and I > don't have to do it. Yep. I plan to let the current version get into testing/sarge (3 day wait), then get my sponsor to upload it at medium urgency (5 day wait). My sponsor says it will be more than 10 days before sarge is released. -- bye, pabs
