[Patch] Make new About dialogue a little nicer

[Stefan Knorr (Astron)]

Hi.

I've received some feedback (almost unreadable copyright text etc.)
which I've incorporated. Additionally I found that the gradient in the
background didn't make much sense on many systems, especially when the
window colour is dark. So now, the background contains a white to
green gradient, not a transparent to green gradient.

I almost bothered to start on a high-contrast version, but since I
didn't know how to best get to my high-contrast logo and high-contrast
background, I will leave that for someone else.

Updated patch attached.

Screenshot links from below still work.
