Dialogs (User Interface)

The Dialogs page previews each dialog that is a part of your setup. You may also change your setup theme, hide particular dialogs, or launch the dialog editor from this page.

Previewing Dialogs

To preview dialogs, click the dialog name underneath the Dialog Sequence heading. A preview of the dialog appears under the Dialog Preview region.

Hiding Dialogs

While you cannot change the ordering of the dialog display sequence, or add new dialogs to the display sequence, you may hide dialogs that are part of the sequence. Hidden dialogs will not be shown at runtime and be skipped.

To hide a dialog, simply uncheck its listing under the Dialog Sequence heading. To show that dialog again, re-check its listing.

Making more sophisticated changes (such as adding new dialogs, changing the order of display) requires updating the setup script.

Editing Dialogs

To edit a dialog:

1. Select it under the Dialog Sequence heading.
2. Click the Edit button.
3. The dialog editor opens with the selected dialog and you may make customizations as necessary.

Changing Themes

To change your setup theme:

1. Click the Change Theme button.
2. From the Available Setup Themes drop-down, select a new theme.
3. A graphical and textual preview of the new theme shows. To try each individual dialog in the theme, click the View Theme button.
4. Choose OK to apply the new theme.

InstallAware features 14 unique setup themes, however not all may have been installed depending on your setup choices. To install more setup themes, simply re-run the InstallAware setup program, and add the new themes using the Add or Remove Features setup option.

Changing a theme will overwrite any customizations you may have made to your existing dialogs.
