How to create a custom installshield dialog skin?

Question

I am trying to create an InstallScript project using InstallShield 2013 Authoring Tool. So far I have just been using the default dialog boxes and skins. Now I need to now customize them to fit my needs, but I am finding the links in the help documentation to be lacking or broken. I was wondering if anyone knows how to create custom dialog skins or can point me in the right direction.

1. under "Project Assistant" tab, select "Installation Interview".
2. click on "Use custom images on dialogs" to specify your own images to replace "full screen image" and the "banner image" for the dialog. large image size can be set to 499x312; banner can be set to 499x68 (if original theme used is 'Classic' or similar.)
3. till now, the dialog screen should look pretty good. But you will notice the installshield opening image (flash screen) is still using a default theme image. to solve that, create your own image (GIF format) to replace it, the size should be 157x312. use this image to replace the original 'setup.gif' under the folder: C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2013\Support\Themes\Classic Theme. (once again, all the image sizes and locations mentioned are based on the assumption that 'Classic theme of the dialog box is used)
