NSIS - Custom page, custom size, custom OK and Cancel button, with custom fields

Question

I'm relatively new to NSIS. I want to create an extra page before MUI_PAGE_WELCOME. I've tried NSIS Dialog Designer , but it uses the Modern UI for its template. I'd like to achieve a completely custom window, with different size, with radio buttons, text fields, and OK- instead of Next button on the bottom, without the MUI overlay.

Are there programs to design pages like this? Maybe I have to use Qt Creator, Visual Studio, or EclipseNSIS for this? Creating Plugins, inserting them somehow to my NSIS document ..

Any simple solutions?

You are asking for complete UI change, which is of course possible but it requires a lot of work, like this one:

or

There is not an exact step-by-step tutorial, you need to experiment (some NSIS knowledge is required).

Here is short list what to do:

Modify the UI file with Resource Hacker ( http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/ )

Then use Graphical Installer for background and buttons ( http://graphical-installer.com/web/gallery.html#Technical )

And for creating the custom dialog use Install Designer ( http://www.install-designer.com/ )

But again there is no exact tutorial for your design, you need to use various tools and scripting to achieve the desired result.
