How to use it

To use the plugin in a NSIS installer you must call the LoadVCLStyleA function passing the skin name in the .onInit function.

Function .onInit
  InitPluginsDir
  ;Get the skin file to use
  File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\Amakrits.vsf "..\Styles\Amakrits.vsf"
  ;Load the skin using the LoadVCLStyleA function
  NSISVCLStyles::LoadVCLStyleA $PLUGINSDIR\Amakrits.vsf
FunctionEnd

To use the plugin in a NSIS Uninstaller you must call the LoadVCLStyleA function passing the skin name in the un.onInit function.

Function un.onInit
  InitPluginsDir
  File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\Amakrits.vsf "..\Styles\Amakrits.vsf"
  NSISVCLStyles::LoadVCLStyleA $PLUGINSDIR\Amakrits.vsf
FunctionEnd
