I have a bitmap 164x314 with my logo which is showing just fine.
When I use header to resize my installer
!include "nsResize.nsh"
and add width and height to it
!define AddWidth 100u
!define AddHeight 75u
I also change dimensions of my bitmap to 164x436 and my logo is looking ugly and stretchy.
Even if I use
!define AddHeight 122
or
!define MUI_WELCOMEFINISHPAGE_BITMAP_NOSTRETCH
it don't do much.
What am I missing?

Solved my problem with using 0px intro file
File "/oname=$PluginsDir\modern-wizard.bmp" "${}\Intro\intro0.bmp"
${NSD_SetImage} "$mui.WelcomePage.Image" "$PLUGINSDIR\modern-wizard.bmp" "$mui.WelcomePage.Image.Bitmap"
${NSD_SetImage} "$mui.FinishPage.Image" "$PLUGINSDIR\modern-wizard.bmp" "$mui.FinishPage.Image.Bitmap"
and setting image later:
${NSD_CreateBitmap} 0 0 164 436 ""
Pop $9
File "/oname=$pluginsdir\welcomeimg.bmp" "${}\Intro\intro96.bmp"
${NSD_SetImage} $9 "$pluginsdir\welcomeimg.bmp" $1
I took ui.cpp and default.rc from the svn, compiled it, used changeui ---> works!
I can't display new controls. This is a section from the new default.rc

In the nsh script, on create function of a page I tried:
GetDlgItem $MyHandle $HWNDPARENT507
MessageBox MB_OK $MyHandle //this is always 0 no matter what I tried in the previous line!!!
EnableWindow $MyHandle 1
I also tried editing the original defalt.exe with resource hacker but nsis wouldn't display new text/control.
How can I display the new text and control???
The NSIS GUI is actually one dialog window with another dialog window inside it.
You first need to find the inner dialog before you can find the controls in it:
FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT ; Find the inner dialog (See attached picture)
GetDlgItem $MyHandle $0 507 ; Find the control
Complete example:
!define ResHacker "$%localappdata%\Programs\ResHacker.exe" ; TODO: Adjust this path
!define myui "${__FILE__}\..\mytempui.exe"

!tempfile rc

I'm trying to make a modeless dialog, since whenever a dialog appears stops the real time process that is running in the main gui, after some reasearch i realize that the problem that is causing the real time part to stop is the "vwait" command in the dialog procedure. How could I make the my current dialog modeless so it doesn't affect the real time process in the back? Should I put the msgDialog in a different thread everytime i call the proc ? or what other way can I do it?
TCL CODE:
proc MsgDialog {w message type icon} \
{
if {![winfo exists $w]} {
set dialColor white
image create photo .alert -format PNG -file alertIcon.png -width 40
image create photo .question -format PNG -file questionicon.png
toplevel $w -borderwidth 2 -relief raised -background $dialColor
wm overrideredirect $w 1
set x [expr { ( [winfo vrootwidth $w] - 350 ) / 2 }]
set y [expr { ( [winfo vrootheight $w] - 190 ) / 2 }]
wm geometry $w 350x190+${x}+${y}

pack $w.msgPnl.message -anchor center -pady 20 -padx 10 -expand 1 -fill both
if {$type == "ok"} {

grid $w.btnPnl.okbut -row 1 -column 1 -padx 125
} elseif {$type == "yesno"} {

}
if {$icon == "alert"} {

pack $w.imgPnl.alertI -fill both -expand 1 -pady 20
} elseif {$icon == "question"} {

} else {
label $w.imgPnl.alertI -image .alert -compound top -background $dialColor
pack $w.imgPnl.alertI -fill both -expand 1 -pady 20
}
raise $w
vwait _res
destroy $w
return $::_res
}
}
I was trying something like this, but when i get invalid command name MsgDialog
set tid [thread::create {thread::wait}]
::thread::send -async $tid {MsgDialog .dialog "Are you ready for measurement ?" yesno question} answer
vwait answer
if {$answer == yes} {
#do something
}
Your dialog proc is fundamentally modal, since it returns a value. It therefore blocks until the user responds, because it can't return its value until the user gives it one.
To make it modeless, build it to just create itself and return. The buttons all then need to call procs (either global or with some fully qualified name) that will set the user value in some place you're waiting for it, then destroy the dialog properly.
This means that your "return" value must be global, the window ID variable must be global, the handler proc/procs must be global, and you'll need to trigger whatever processing you want the value for in some way that's too application specific for me to guess. It's a fair bit of work, but it's easier than trying to incorporate the threading library.
Have you tried simply removing the vwait? The difference between a modal dialog and a non-modal one is really nothing more than the modal dialog calling vwait and then doing a grab on the keyboard and mouse.
I wonder if there is any way which I can call function after nsDialog::show.
My case is a custom page that need to run http get request after the nsDialog show.

nsDialogs::Show
Call MyFunc
FunctionEnd
Actually, the call for MyFunc is occuring only when im closing the nsDialog..
Use nsDialogs::CreateTimer with a short timeout and kill the timer in the function callback, it is a bit of a hack but seems to work fine.
nsDialog running by solo thread, but actually you can use nsDialogs::CreateTimer to callback a function without specify time which.
You can read more about that on:

I want to control progressbar in my nsis installer. Actually I'm using ThreadTimer plugin but I've got big problem with it. ThreadTimer runs function every 10 seconds to update progress bar (increace progress bar value by 1%). The problem is that it crashes stack (as I can see ThreadTimer is using the same stack as NSIS). Crashes stack means that when I want to get value from the stack the value is wrong because of ThreadTimer function action. Any ideas? Maybe there are some other ways to update progress bar?
Those are functions/macros which should update progress bar. Macro StartProgressBarIntervalUpdate starts updating progress bar, macro StopProgressBarIntervalUpdate stops doping it.
Var /GLOBAL ProgressBarPosition
Var /GLOBAL ProgressBarParentWindow
Var /GLOBAL ProgressBarItem
Function InitProgressBar
StrCpy $ProgressBarPosition "0"
FindWindow $ProgressBarParentWindow "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $ProgressBarItem $ProgressBarParentWindow 1004
FunctionEnd
Function UpdateProgressBarTimer
${If} $ProgressBarPosition >= 30000 ; 100% * 300
StrCpy $ProgressBarPosition "0"
${Endif}
IntOp $ProgressBarPosition $ProgressBarPosition + 300
SendMessage $ProgressBarItem ${PBM_SETPOS} $ProgressBarPosition 0
FunctionEnd
!define StartProgressBarIntervalUpdate "!insertmacro StartProgressBarIntervalUpdate"

!define StopProgressBarIntervalUpdate "!insertmacro StopProgressBarIntervalUpdate"
