You can't *easily* change the background bitmap on the Exit Dialog without changing it on all other dialogs which use that bitmap (WelcomeDlg is the main one which springs to mind, can't think of any others off the top of my head right now but there's a few). If you want to try it change the bitmap (or the value) of WixVariable Id="WixUIDialogBmp" & you'll see what I mean.
If you want to a different bitmap for the Exit Dialog only you'll have to re-author the Exit Dialog. Neil Sleightholm's blog has a pretty good article on how to modify the stock WiXUI's at http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html However if you're going to all that trouble you could simply resize the checkbox so it is only the size of the checkbox itself & then add a text control next to it with your text & the transparency attribute. That way your background image stays consistent & you get your transparent text. This will never be "fixed" btw. Either write your own work-around as suggested above or learn to live with the horrible grey box (or remove the requirement for that functionality).
