What I did to try using a WixVariable was adding the following to the
fragment in Common.wxs as default values for the variables.
<WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogTextWidth" Value="220" Overridable="yes" />
<WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogBitmapWidth" Value="135"
Overridable="yes" />
And then in the dialogs that have a sidebar bitmap I changed the
Control/@X and Control/@Width attributes. For example the Title in
FatalError.wxs.
<Control Id="Title" Type="Text"
X="!(wix.WixUIDialogBitmapWidth)" Y="20"
Width="!(wix.WixUIDialogTextWidth)" Height="60" Transparent="yes"
NoPrefix="yes" Text="!(loc.FatalErrorTitle)" />
I'm probably doing this wrong since it doesn't work.
