When building an installer: Don't limit the welcome dialog to 7 lines of text

Status: New

This one has irritated me for a long time.  When I create installers, I like to utilize the welcome dialog so the user knows exactly what they are installing.

 

But the application builder limits this to 7 lines of text.  Look all the unused space!

My suggestion:  Make use of the unused space and let us specify more than 7 lines of text.

Also, the text you enter in the Application Builder gets wrapped at different locations.  So the number of lines you see in the Application Builder does NOT MATCH the number of lines in the installer.

And the readme-file is presented in a small indicator too, that does not even have a scrollbar if I remember correctly.
