Colors and logo in about dialog

Post by scootergrisen » Mon Sep 04, 2017 6:40 pm

Windows 7 64-bit - Audacity 2.2.0-beta-Sep 1 2017 - .exe-installer

The white background color does not look good in Windows using classic theme.
I would prefer just to default baggrunds color.
Like the preferences dialog and guess ever dialog expect the about dialog.
Not the missing white in the bottom right corner, and the border and the bottom of each tab that is not active.

Also the logo seems to be streatched.
Compare with.

Would be better to use a transparent logo so the background color would work with the logo no matter what color it is.

The welcome dialog have the same problem with the background color.
Part of the resize square is below the OK button.

Looks like that - and looks fine to me in both Classic and Light theme.

And the dark variant in Dark and High Contrast themes also look fine to me
