custom backgrounds in only *some* dialogs?

Hi all,

is there any way to have our custom background only show up for *some* dialogs? It's annoying to have an image behind the scrolling text of the license, for example (even though we've made it so it's a ghost-like image of our logo). And the tiny amount of space at the bottom left isn't really suitable for our logo.

I've messed around a little bit with an installer plugin, but have not yet found any documentation describing how I might create a dialog and insert it in the install sequence. (The default installer plugin, when added to my installer, simply shows a view on top of one of the existing dialogs in the sequence, not a separate window.)

On a more general note, is the apparent inability to add or customize dialogs in the installers a function of the Apple installer app, or just the tools (e.g., PackageMaker or Iceberg)? If it's just the tools that are limiting us, is there any good documentation on how to assemble a package for installation that includes additional and/or customized dialogs? If so, I could probably put together my packages manually, since they're all identical except for the plug-in being installed.

Is there anyone out there who's making package installers and does *any* customization? Is there any documentation on how to go about it? Or am I stuck with VISE-X?

Thanks,
	Howard
