Re: [WiX-users] Creating a bootstrap application and need a more simple UI

The default UI seems more complex than I need. I just want the bootstrapper to start installing the applications and not show any dialog.

[WiX-users] Set font color in WiXUIExtension UIs

Thanks for promptly replying. Hm, most unfortunate if it was actually done by someone but not contributed to the main WiX dev. I'd really rather not have to create my own UI.

Re: [WiX-users] Set font color in WiXUIExtension UIs
Hm, but Windows (or whatever controls the color inverter) could change it at any time, such that we'd have to find the new magic number where the inversion no longer happens. I think it makes more sense to simply be able to make previously set font settings overwritable later in the WiX script file, since it seems to me that this would be useful in not only my situation, but also anytime someone's following the tutorial, but wants to customise the background and/or font, or in whatever other situations this may be useful that I can't conceive. -Original Message- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: January 31, 2013 17:36 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Text accessibility
How can I use the provided WiXUIExtension interfaces (such as WiXUI_Mondo or WiXUI_Minimal) but change the text colour to force it to be black? Context: Some users set their Personalise display settings to high-contrast white text on black background. In the provided WiX installer UIs, the result is white text (taking the system setting, I assume), and putting it on the default white background, making the text illegible. So it seems the simplest solution would be to purposefully make the text black no matter what, so it is always legible on the white background. Yes, this will annoy said users, but not as much as not being able to read the installer text at all. A second, more elegant but more complicated, solution would be to somehow detect the system's default font colour, and set the background to the opposite. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. -- Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
