Hi Yves,
We have developed the forms to be customizable as far as changing the banner and the text. I would strongly advise against changing the forms as there is a high risk of breaking something and you will need to merge your changes in to every new release of the toolkit. We do our best to support the toolkit in our spare time, but ultimately we can't support you if you run in to problems after modifying the main code. There is safety in numbers and the current code is used globally on hundreds of thousands of clients.
That said, here's a quick summary:
The Installation Welcome prompt uses Windows forms with a Flow Layout panel to dynamically adjust the size of the form depending on the objects contained within it.
The Installation Progress uses Windows Presentation Framework as it needed to be multithreaded - not an easy task.
Outside of making simple changes like font type, you're going to need advanced PowerShell/UI skills to take on any major re-work.
