okay to see if it was my stuff that was messing up, I created a new boostrapper project I took the RTF theme xml/wxl from the 3.8 RTM source
added my background.png (used MS Paint 500 x 390 light gray color saved as png) launch the bootstrapper and the background bitmap is covering the whole dialog except for the Title text, the install page controls are behind the bitmap, if I comment out that image element and add the background image to the Install page, looks good except most of the richedit control is covered by the background image, click Options to goto options page, click okay and the Install page looks fine... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Theme xmlns="http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/thmutil/2010";> <Window Width="500" Height="390" HexStyle="100a0000" FontId="0">#(loc.Caption)</Window> Segoe UI Segoe UI Segoe UI Segoe UI Segoe UI <Image X="00" Y="00" Width="500" Height="390" ImageFile="logo.png" Visible="yes"/> <Text X="80" Y="11" Width="-11" Height="64" FontId="1" Visible="yes" DisablePrefix="yes">#(loc.Title)</Text> <Page Name="Help"> <Text X="11" Y="80" Width="-11" Height="30" FontId="2" DisablePrefix="yes">#(loc.HelpHeader)</Text> <Text X="11" Y="112" Width="-11" Height="-35" FontId="3" DisablePrefix="yes">#(loc.HelpText)</Text> <Button Name="HelpCancelButton" X="-11" Y="-11" Width="75" Height="23" TabStop="yes" FontId="0">#(loc.HelpCloseButton)</Button> </Page> <Page Name="Install"> <Richedit Name="EulaRichedit" X="11" Y="80" Width="-11" Height="-70" TabStop="yes" FontId="0" HexStyle="0x800000" /> <Checkbox Name="EulaAcceptCheckbox" X="-11" Y="-41" Width="260" Height="17" TabStop="yes" FontId="5" HideWhenDisabled="yes">#(loc.InstallAcceptCheckbox)</Checkbox> <Button Name="OptionsButton" X="-171" Y="-11" Width="75" Height="23" TabStop="yes" FontId="0" HideWhenDisabled="yes">#(loc.InstallOptionsButton)</Button> <Button Name="InstallButton" X="-91" Y="-11" Width="75" Height="23" TabStop="yes" FontId="0">#(loc.InstallInstallButton)</Button> <Button Name="WelcomeCancelButton" X="-11" Y="-11" Width="75" Height="23" TabStop="yes" FontId="0">#(loc.InstallCloseButton)</Button> </Page> -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/alt-key-in-bootstrapper-messes-up-the-foreground-background-of-controls-tp7592823p7592857.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
