It seems that WiseInstall and InstallShield use a backdrop behind
their install window, but I like the way Rev's 2.7 installer
doesn't presume you have nothing better to do that watch the
progress bar.
So here's the question: Is the backdrop used by so many
professional installers really just a useless holdover, or is there
some benefit to having it that I'm not seeing?
If you were building your own installer would you use a backdrop?
If so, why?
The home grown installer I made for my stuff does not have a
backdrop. It is probably missing a lot of other fancy things as
well. But, it does what I need it to do very well.
