BTW while you're at it, what about a better sidebar banner? The existing
one looks rather boring. I'm not really good with GFX, but maybe someone
from this list could do it.
That's the pristine banner from NSIS. Yes it's better to use a
banner for Vim. I'm not good at artwork either, so, I'm expecting
other talented guys to create one to be used in the installer.

Boring or not, those graphics have the merit of being "consistent" with
Windows installers for various programs. I think they are acceptable.
If we want to design a specific image for Vim, IMHO it would have to
- be based on the Vim "V" or "Vim" logo
- not be so trendy that next year it'd be out of fashion
- not make the text hard to read, not even for colour-blind people.
The latter probably implies either (a) text outside the image, or (b)
text inside the image, but on a relatively flat-coloured part of it, and
in contrasting tones (white text on dark BG, black text on light BG, etc.).
Best regards,
Tony.
