border/padding issues but the width may differ for platforms, translations
and fonts. The window may often get the same size but it is not guaranteed
(and it should not be, it should rather respect the system settings,
consider for example a high-res screen and system font set to 250% of usual
size).

626px is the current window width according to wx widget inspector on my
computer. It is hard to say if the image should be few pixels smaller.

This might be a reason to prefer single color background (we can then make
it transparent or color the widget background to the same color as image to
get the similar effect but with our color, this might be more challenging,
however).
