User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041104 Firefox/1.0RC2

In Windows it is possible to set a custom colour scheme where window backgrounds
are non-white - for example off-white.

The logo on the top section of the installer dialog doesn't look any good when
the colour behind it isn't white.

The colour behind it should be white to match the matte on the logo, or the logo
should have alpha transparency.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set system colour scheme so window background is off-white
2. Run the Firefox installer, and proceed to the first step after the initial screen
Actual Results:  
Firefox logo has white around it which doesn't match background

Expected Results:  
Background should be white
OR
Logo should have alpha transparency.

Attachment: screenshot - compares old, new, and a random MS installer

The new installer based on NSIS defines the color for the header which appears to be typical of commercial installers. Keep in mind that the control for the image uses a bitmap.

This was fixed by bug 326580. Now the color for the entire header is defined as shown in the screenshot I attached.
