The Status line and Version line sections allow you
to position the text lines on the splash screen and configure their font.
The status line is dynamically updatable with
install4j's splash screen client API while
the text of the version line may be overridden with a
command line option of the install4j compiler.
You can configure the following properties of a text line
-
Text
The (initial) text displayed in the text line.
-
Position
The x and y-coordinates of the text line on the splash screen. The origin of
the coordinate system is the top left corner of the splash screen window.
-
Font
The font used for drawing the text line:
-
Name
The name of the font. Please choose a common font name that is likely to be
available on all target platforms. If unavailable at runtime, a platform dependent
standard dialog font will be used as a fallback.
-
Weight
The weight of the font. 8 fine-grained font weights are offered as a choice.
-
Size
The size of the font in points.
-
Color
The color of the font. By clicking on [...], a color chooser
dialog is brought up.
In both text lines, you can use the %VERSION% variable to
substitute the version entered on the
Application Info tab of
the General Settings step.
To visually position the text lines with mouse and keyboard
on the actual splash screen image, please click on the
[Position text lines visually] button. The
visual positioning dialog
will then be displayed. On exiting the dialog with the [OK] button,
the X/Y coordinate text fields (see above) will be updated for both text lines.
