You're right about both of those, and I've been meaning to improve
them for quite some time. Truth of the matter however, is that I
haven't come up with a design that actually looks better, yet.

If you have some spare time and it's enough of an itch why not fire
up your favourite image editor and try to do an improved mockup?
The minute somebody proposes a better design, I'm going to put it in.
(Well, ok, maybe not the very same minute, but you get the idea...)
