no, the gray-shaded banner inside rootskel-gtk_0.02_i386.udeb is ok; i 
used that old banner only because it was still inside a testing .tgz i 
sometimes use.
Let's stay with shaded logo banner, only it seems to me the blue you 
used for the "i" icon doesn't match very well with the red used in the 
debian logo.

that's the standard bg colour i get in gnome: maybe an improvement to 
the frontend would be allowing for setting a custom BG colour at 
compile-time
