No this is WIX 3.8 I notice that the checkbox control, even though is set as transparent shows a different colour where the text is...
My problem is that I have a light gray background image (created in MS Paint 500 x390 .png) have a side panel image (is a white background with our corporate logo in upper left hand side) I then have a static control to create that "line" between the side panel image and the buttons (trying to mimic the UI of the MSI Welcome screen), launch the bootstrapper and then when the Welcome/Install page is up I hit the ALT key and all controls EXCEPT for the images go to the background :( i.e. <Window Width="500" Height="390" HexStyle="100a0000" FontId="0">#(loc.Caption)</Window> <Font Id="0" Height="-12" Weight="500" Foreground="000000" Background="FFFFFF">Segoe UI</Font> <Font Id="1" Height="-24" Weight="500" Foreground="000000">Segoe UI</Font> <Font Id="2" Height="-18" Weight="500" Foreground="000000" Background="FFFFFF">Segoe UI</Font> <Font Id="3" Height="-12" Weight="500" Foreground="000000" Background="FFFFFF">Segoe UI</Font> <Font Id="4" Height="-12" Weight="500" Foreground="000000">Segoe UI</Font> <Page Name="Install"> <Image X="00" Y="00" Width="500" Height="390" ImageFile="Background.png" Visible="no"/> <Image X="00" Y="00" Width="493" Height="309" ImageFile="TITUS_SideBanner.png" Visible="no"/> <Static X="0" Y="309" Width="495" Height="1" HexStyle="0x00000200L" Visible="no"/> <Text X="170" Y="20" Width="-11" Height="60" FontId="2" DisablePrefix="yes">#(loc.InstallHeader)</Text> <Text X="170" Y="100" Width="-11" Height="-129" FontId="3" DisablePrefix="yes">#(loc.InstallMessage)</Text> <Text X="11" Y="-11" Width="246" Height="17" FontId="4" DisablePrefix="yes" Visible="no" TabStop="no">#(loc.InstallVersion)</Text> <Checkbox Name="InstallClient1Checkbox" X="180" Y="180" Width="-11" Height="17" FontId="3" Visible="yes" TabStop="yes" HideWhenDisabled="no">#(loc.Client1Checkbox)</Checkbox> <Checkbox Name="InstallClient2Checkbox" X="180" Y="200" Width="-11" Height="17" FontId="3" Visible="yes" TabStop="yes" HideWhenDisabled="no">#(loc.Client2Checkbox)</Checkbox> <Checkbox Name="InstallClient3Checkbox" X="180" Y="220" Width="-11" Height="17" FontId="3" Visible="yes" TabStop="yes" HideWhenDisabled="no">#(loc.Client3Checkbox)</Checkbox> <Button Name="OptionsButton" X="314" Y="-11" Width="75" Height="23" FontId="0" TabStop="yes">#(loc.InstallOptionsButton)</Button> <Button Name="WelcomeCancelButton" X="404" Y="-11" Width="75" Height="23" FontId="0" TabStop="yes">#(loc.InstallCancelButton)</Button> </Page> -----Original Message----- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@firegiant.com] Sent: February-22-14 10:52 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] alt key in bootstrapper messes up the foreground/background of controls FWIW, I've created a UI with wixstdba with a background image. Did have problem with text that changed (like Action text during install) since I marked all text blocks to be transparent. I had to give those text blocks a matching background (had to change the background image to have an area with a solid color for the text). Worked fine though. Client was happy. Not sure what root cause of your issues were. This was with WiX v3.7. _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Steve-Ogilvie [mailto:steven.ogil...@titus.com] Sent: Saturday, February 22, 2014 7:27 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] alt key in bootstrapper messes up the foreground/background of controls sigh looks like I will have to remove the background image and the side banner image and cut the side banner image to just use the first 1/3 of the dialog... too bad, since the UI looked really nice and what management wanted! -- 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-tp7592823p7592872.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.
