I use Inno installer with Graphical Installer. I don't know if you have experience with it. But I would like to know how to move the components see picture. Moving the other texts around, I have solved, but I am interested in the frame where the text, the directory path and on the next page the progress bar. Is it possible to move that frame fig.1. I think it will be a GI component and I don't know its name. Primarily I want to put the directory path in a different place fig 2.

Among other things, I'm wondering if any effects can be applied. Animation (gif), video, different effects at startup etc. If there isn't a thread for that.

Example installer:

enter image description here

Change the position of the text and path frame. Graphical effects at startup.

    I do not have any experience with GI. But in original Inno Setup, the directory edit control is `DirEdit`. See also [Inno Setup built-in control names](https://stackoverflow.com/q/45081063/850848). – Martin Prikryl Jan 11 '23 at 11:55

Graphical Installer is based on the same Inno Setup components.

That edit box on Directory page is called DirEdit and you can set its position by adjusting its Left and Top properties.

Frame is actually an InnerNotebook (page of TNewNotebook component) and you can update its position the same way, e.g. in procedure InitializeWizard():

procedure InitializeWizard();
begin    
    #ifdef GRAPHICAL_INSTALLER_PROJECT
    // Initialize Graphical Installer skinning mechanism
    InitGraphicalInstaller();
    #endif

    // Change position of the Frame
    WizardForm.InnerNotebook.Left := 0; 
    WizardForm.InnerNotebook.Top := 0;
end;

Note: Changing this Frame position may broke the image shown in installer (you need to regenerate it witch changed coordinates).
