      Hello!
      Let's say I made a VST instrument, user downloads the plugin and in the first screen he sees a pop-up with 2 options: install the instrument or choose the folder location.

      My questions are:

      1. Is it possible to customize the pop-up window? (I'd like to load custom background, custom text, my custom buttons, add a custom greeting text)
      2. I want to delete the option "install instrument" and leave only one option available: "locate sample folder" at the very first run. Is there any easy way to do it?
      3. I noticed as soon as the user locates the folder with samples there's no button to choose the folder location again. So, I would like to add a "relocate samples" button to the screen. Shall it be done through scripting when developing the UI of my instrument in HISE?
      4. For some reason after exporting and loading the VST, it requires to locate the folder named "Samples". How and where can I rename the folder, so the required folder would be called "MyInstrumentName Samples", for example?

      Thank you! :-) I appreciate if you could give me a comprehensive answer as I'm a total beginner thinking of getting into scripting and learning the basics of C++ for making custom VSTs and working more deeply with audio.

        @Shinami-Sound 1. You can customize it by LAF (Look and Feel )

        Alternatively you can do it from source code.

        1. locate sample folder via Source code CPP editing or LAF

        2. Floating Tiles > Custom Settings , here you will get Sample Location Button.

        3. Only via CPP editing ( I guess)

          1. LAF is the way, as @DabDab said

          2. You can add one of these definitions to your project's preferences :

          1. As @DabDab said, or you can build your own locate function using the FileSystem API

          2. Also possible with a custom sample loading / locate function

          -- Edit : 1. or build your own popup linked to your custom file function
