Even better: Use the color theme of the operating system, noting that 
globally setting the text and background color for main windows has been 
a thing since about 1990, and this setting now seems to be controlled by 
the "theme" UI.  There is even a notification telling GUI programs 
whenever this may have changed while the UI is on screen.

Here is one more:

Make sure the setup.exe version number is monotonically increasing over 
the project lifetime (i.e. since first cygwin setup.exe back in the day) 
and is stated clearly on the download page.  Also maybe incorporate the 
cygwin1.dll version number in some of the more significanat version 
number parts.  Since 1992, Windows exe/dll file versions consist of 4 
numbers major.minor.subrelease.patch, where each field is 0..65535 
inclusive and the entire value can be compared as an uint64_t .


Enjoy
