The banner has a clear cut (cut between banner and non-banner) and provides
a great deal of visual disimularity to other windows (usefull for
identification).
I can imagen that in the BeOS days a banner was kind of a big deal, now
these size graphics are used for subtle background gradients. Just don't
put text in the graphic, translates badly.
Other windows can be given banners as wel. It'd quickly become "this is a
generic info window with the banner missing".
I don't really care about the look of info windows though. Just my
Satoshi's.
