Background Color This setting displays the currently selected background color for your billboard. To
change this color, click the ellipsis button (...). InstallShield displays the Color dialog box,
which lets you select a predefined color or define a custom color for the background.
Note: This setting is used only if the Fullscreen with Small progress (displayed in
lower right) option is selected for the Billboard Type setting.
Title Enter the title of this billboard, as you want it to appear in the upper-left corner of the
background.
Tip: The maximum number of characters that the installation can display for the title at
run time varies, depending on the font, the font size, the font attributes, and the length of
the title string that you specify for this setting. It also depends on the screen resolution
on the target system. Therefore, if you specify a long title, preview the billboard using
different screen resolutions to test whether the entire title will be displayed at run time.
Note: This setting is used only if the Fullscreen with Small progress (displayed in
lower right) option is selected for the Billboard Type setting.
Background Style Select the style of background that you would like to use. Available options are:
• Gradient—The background fades from dark to light.
• Solid—The background is displayed as one solid color.
Note: This setting is used only if the Fullscreen with Small progress (displayed in
lower right) option is selected for the Billboard Type setting.
Font Click the ellipsis (...) button to select the font that you want to use for the title in the
selected billboard’s background. If the target machine does not have the font you
selected, a default system font is used instead.
Note: This setting is used only if the Fullscreen with Small progress (displayed in
lower right) option is selected for the Billboard Type setting.
The installation of your software is often the first contact your customers have with your application. If
the setup process is hard to follow or the messages on the dialogs unclear, that first impression may be
poor. Instead, you can customize all of the text that is displayed in your setup. Additionally, you can
export all run-time strings to a text file, translate them, and then import the new language into the IDE
for globalized versions of your setup.
