Nope. You've found the paradox that is putting controls on top of images. If
you include the text in the checkbox controls area, then it is ugly. If you
shrink the checkbox to only be the checkbox, you can't click on text and
accessibility (screen readers, in particular) is rendered useless.
That's why I tell my designers not to put controls over bitmaps... and why I'm
looking at external UI for the setup chainer (in six months or so).

Subject: [WiX-users] clicking on checkbox pseudo labels
I have implemented a "Launch [ProductName]" checkbox according to section 8.6
of the tutorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu with one small change. Because
the background of the checkbox is gray (and cannot be changed) and the
background of the panel is white (which is not very attractive), I have made
the checkbox small enough that its label is gone and added a separate Text
control that can have a transparent background. The problem with this is that
unlike the checkbox label, clicking on this Text control does not toggle the
checkbox.
Is there way to configure the Text control to respond to a mouse click and
toggle the checkbox?
