Hello aubin115,

The form that you mention is the update engine user interface. This is the process that actually performs the update activity on the clients. To customize this user interface, you can specify your own logo and title. You do this from the project properties panel in Make Update. Scroll to the bottom of the page here for details.

You can also choose not to show this user interface at all during an update by passing an ApplyUpdateOptions.NoUpdateWindow enum parameter to your ApplyUpdate method call. If you elect to go this route, you can retrieve information about the results of the update when your application restarts by using the ReadLastUpdateInformation method of the Update Controller.

We do intend to provide the ability to skin this part of the user interface in a future release, allowing full customization of the update engine ui.
