6.2.0 (2021-06-03)

Graphics modernized

• Updated all Compiler IDE's toolbar icons and the wizard images used by the Compiler IDE's New Script Wizard wizard.
• Updated the default application icon used by Setup and Uninstall if [Setup] section directive SetupIconFile is not set. To use the old icon again set SetupIconFile to compiler:SetupClassicIcon.ico.
• [Setup] section directives WizardImageFile and WizardSmallImageFile now default to a blank value which makes Setup use new built-in wizard images. To use the old wizard images again set WizardImageFile and WizardSmallImageFile to compiler:WizClassicImage.bmp and compiler:WizClassicSmallImage.bmp respectively.
• Updated Uninstall's default small wizard image if [Setup] section directive SetupIconFile is not set. Before it would use Setup's default application icon in this case.
• Updated the folder, group, and stop icons used by Setup's Select Destination Location, Select Start Menu Folder, and Preparing to Install wizard pages.
• Updated the disk icon used by Setup's Setup Needs the Next Disk form.
• Pascal Scripting change: Added new InitializeBitmapImageFromIcon support function.

All these icon and images updates include the automatic use of higher quality versions (which were not available before) on higher DPI settings. This includes new automatic use of higher quality icons for the icon on Setup's Select Setup Language form and Uninstall's small wizard image if SetupIconFile is set.

Example screenshots:

• Setup wizard pages Select Destination Location and Setup Completed at 100% DPI.
• Setup wizard pages Select Destination Location and Setup Completed at 175% DPI.
• Compiler IDE themes Light and Dark at 100% DPI.

QuickStart Pack removed
