I said: "I agree with Rob: We shouldn't change the dimensions of the existing BAs in 3.x releases." To make it more explicit: "In the 3.x releases, changes in behavior or visible UI should be opt-in only." That's been the case since WiX v3.0. At least, I can only recall examples and can't think of any counterexamples (modulo bugs).
We recommend people use the latest bits wherever possible; default changes complicate that. > I submitted these changes following the positive feedback I got from > the extended BA I published.

(See http://beeroclock.in/.) Off the top of my head, Hyperlink2Theme could be HyperlinkSidebarTheme. Maybe HyperlinkBiggerTheme and RtfBiggerTheme? Kinda lame but straightforwardly descriptive. Another option: Using loc overrides <http://www.joyofsetup.com/2012/07/14/localizing-more-than-strings-in-wix-v3-6/> to adjust the sizes, so there's one theme and multiple localizations. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
