How to change font size for the tip text in a menu

Do you want to use a larger font size for the button’s tip text in a menu interface created with CD-Menu Creator or USB Menu Creator? This is possible.

Tip text with normal font size
When you hover the mouse pointer above a button in a menu interface, a tip text is shown in the bottom left or bottom right part of the menu interface. The font size of this tip text can be changed. If you add one of these two prefix before the text in the tip text, you will have larger font size for the tip text:

[L]  : increase the font height with 25%
[XL] : increase the font height with 50%

For example, to increase the font size with 25%, enter the [L] prefix before the text:

[L] This is a tip text.

You can add and edit the tip text via the Add Button and Edit Button dialog boxes in the CD-Menu Creator and USB Menu Creator editor:

The 'Add Button' dialog box

Below you can see the size of the tip text when the [L] and the [XL] prefix are used. In the first example is the [L] prefix used and in the second example is the [XL] prefix used.

Example 1:   [L] – Large font size

Example 2:   [XL] – Extra-Large font size

Visual Installer 2022 / Enterprise supports batch files & build servers

In the Enterprise version of Visual Installer 2022 it is possible to build a setup package without any interaction with a graphical user interface. The build process is invisible, and you use command line parameters and switches to handle the build operations. And errors that occur (if there are any) are returned via a log file that contain detailed error descriptions and error codes etc.

Build servers
The silent build processes via command line parameters / switches makes it easy to call Visual Installer from build servers. A build server is useful if you work in a team and your team want to, for example, compile applications or build setup packages in one operation.

Batch files
You can also utilize this function from local batch files (for example from traditional .BAT files). You can add one line of code for each setup package that you want to build, in the batch file. For example:

VI.exe C:\MyProjects\MySetup.vip /BUILD /BUILDFOLDER:C:\MyCreatedSetups\Setup1

In the following tip on our website you can read how to use this function in Visual Installer:
