Configuration company version of the InstalSystem 5

Purpose

The article describes the possibilities of configuring the company version of the InstalSystem 5 package.

Splash screen

1. Splash screen

Guidelines:

• Maximum size 800x600 px.
• Layout and colours of graphic elements within the window:
  • Package name/Editor name – main element
  • Space must be provided for placing dynamic texts
  • Colour of dynamic elements:
    1. Version
    2. Rev
    3. Text of info on loading
    4. Loading progress indicator (rotating circle) (optionally: another colour and another position in relation to 1 can be specified.)
  • Optionally: another colour can be set for the splash screen of the Manager and Editor.
  • Optionally: the location of the dynamic texts can be specified.
• Colours should be adjusted to the background of the splash screen to make the texts and the indicator visible.

 

Manager background

2. InstalSystem Manager - basic

Guidelines:

• Background (StartupWindowBackgroundPictureIndex) and top part (banner) (StartupWindowBannerPictureIndex + StartupWindowBannerHeight) are configured separately
• Banner is drawn on top and is resized separately when the window size is changed. For this reason, it is recommended to have a transparent banner background that will match well with the main background
• The background occupies all of the window space and it is placed under all control elements, it is therefore recommended that it has its graphics placed in the top and left-hand parts whereas the bottom right-hand part is empty or very delicate so that the texts are clearly visible.

• StartupWindowTabBorderColor - button border colour (RGB).
• StartupWindowTabXXXColor - button background colour (RGB).
