The current wixstdba is trying to get the most of the features from the WiX
Advanced UI (except per-machine/per-user switching thing which doesn't
work). If you don't like that UI then you'll probably need to investigate
creating your own bootstrapper application.

Most of WiX v3.6 is going to be about getting the engine right. The provided
bootstrapper applications are by necessity going to be fairly simplistic.

Maybe in some distant future there will be a fully declarative UI layer to
do all that you can do in MSI an more.  Right now theming is limitied to
moving and hiding controls. <smile/>
