The size of the dialogs and text were meant to reflect similar dialogs from other installations and products but I get the feeling that these UI changes are not welcome in the WiX code base. I submitted these changes following the positive feedback I got from the extended BA I published. In my opinion the stock UIs are too small and cramped but I guess that is just personal preference.
Do you think there is any point in me doing any further work on this code? Would it make sense to make these additional UI options? If so, can you suggest more descriptive names?

OTOH, the RTF variant looks much better bigger. * Could you put the version label in the lower left (shared with the buttons row) and in a smaller, grayer font? Then it would be consistent across variants and shouldn't run into localization space problems. * The message needs to be different -- at the very least, it and should match the initial-caps of the button labels and should be sensitive to whether the Options button is enabled. * HyperLink2 could have a more descriptive name. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
