How to change Title/Subtitle in install4j? - install4j

I am trying to change the title/subtitle of default "Installation location" screen as provided by install4j. But i cannot find the section in title/subtitle configuration part. The title/subtitle part is available for other screens and can be changed there.
Is there any other way or API using which i can change the Title/Subtite?

Titles and subtitles of standard screens are not directly configurable, but you can override the messages.
On the General Settings->Languages step, set up a custom localization file, then open the built-in editor and click on the "Override messages" tool bar button. Search for the message you want to change and click on OK. Then you can change the text in the editor.

Install4j 8.x customization

Install4j is a great installer to work with. But i found some limitation for it and also it works differently on different platform OS.Right now i am working on Windows OS. Below are my queries .Please suggest some good solution.
1)I want to customize the install4j window. By default it corner shaped, i want it to be round edged at corners. How can i customize this window ie. changing shapes, changing the opacity, color, etc.
2)In directory chooser can we customize the the "Browse" button. I want to add image to the button matching to our theme.Is there any way to do that?
3)When i disable the "minimize" option for installer ,it is not clickable but still shows the disable icon.Can we make it disappear that?It works on CentOS but on windows it still shows the icon.
4)Can we customize title bar?
In install4j 8.x, no window customizations are supported and it is also not possible to set an icon for the file chooser button.

Is there a way to programmatically change the color of an editor tab in my Eclipse Plugin?

I have a SharedHeaderFormEditor in my Eclipse RCP plugin.
One of my requirements is to draw attention to the editor's tab when something happens outside of the editor and it needs a refresh.
Some of the ideas discussed included
changing the color of the tab
adding an icon to the editor's text (instead of the standard * for a dirty editor)
Are either of those possible? I've been looking around and have not found anything that could address this issue.
Thanks!
ViewPart and EditorPart both allow changing the title label and icon (setPartName(…) and setTitleImage(…) respectively). The Eclipse Workbench also offers an IWorkbenchPartProgressService to each part, which allows a part to indicate that it's busy (via incrementBusy()/decrementBusy()) and that its content has changed (via warnOfContentChange()). You can see this used in the Search and Console views (org.eclipse.search2.internal.ui.SearchView and org.eclipse.ui.internal.console.ConsoleView).

overriding install4j finish screen text

I'm trying to get rid of the default text that appears on the install4j finish screen. I've edited the finish components and added a multi line label to display the text I want however it just displays that below the default text. Is there a way to get rid of the default text completely?
There are two options:
1) Delete the "Finish" screen, add a "Configurable banner form" screen instead and select its "Quit after screen" property.
or

How to change an icon on a progress window?

In Progress 11.3.2 (Developer Studio 3.7 - Eclipse 3.8.2), not using dot net at all:
How do you change the icon a window uses (*.w)?
Found this:
http://www.oehive.org/node/512
Could not get it change any graphics but it had no errors.
In the outline view:
You can right click the window (not the frame) and open up the property sheet:
Click the "Icon Image" icon and select your icon.
You can use the small-icon as described in this knowledge entry.
You can also set that property via the property page on the AppBuilder Prospective.
The article mentions Webclient but this will work with a full client as well.
