Note: this advanced option screen is reachable by selecting the "Splash screen" step and choosing "Text lines" from the Advanced options popup menu or by clicking directly on the index.

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:
  • Size
    The size of the font in points.
  • Bold
    Whether the font weight should be bold or not.
  • 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.
