Developer comments
It is based on Modern UI and Modern UI 2 interfaces by Joost Verburg.
It's main advantage is, that it is really easy to convert standard MUI-based installer into fully skinned installer with custom graphic - background, buttons, checkboxes, ... All you need to do is to include it's nsh file and to change cca 10 lines of your script, put desired pictures and compile it, really easy!
There are also other plugins, like ExperienceUI or UltraModernUI but those plugins use custom script macros and they are not compatible with Modern UI, because they have their own pages, macros and so on... Anyway it is possible to achieve the same effect with this plugin. To be honest I was inspired by these plugins (and also by InstallShield skinned installers).
