It is possible to place an icon on the right side of the heading (see below to display on left side). To do this a simple resource entry will be needed:
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<resources> ... <res id="Heading.image" src="[path to the image in the source tree]"/> ... </resources> |
There are some guiprefs modifier keys used to modify heading (see above). Additionally it is possible to count the general not hidden panels in the heading or navigation panel.
...
In the resource file <ISO3>.xml or 'CustomLangpack.xml_<ISO3>, add:
...
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<langpack> ... <str id="installer.reversetitle" txt="$APP_NAME $APP_VER - IzPack Wizard "/> ... </langpack> |
Example: Changed key/value pairs to create IzPack installation with heading, no button and label icons and a panel progressbar counter in the navigation panel.
