Apps should not be using 1.3 according to the SDK people since it's
unreleased.


unity8 shows the correct header size with the use_sdk_13 branch but we can't land it since there's major regressions with SDK 1.3

Title:
  Using both X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header=true and SDK 1.3 looks bad

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  X-Ubuntu-Splash-Show-Header=true is mean to make your app startup
  seemless.  To make it look more like the app starts immediately and
  simply filling in its contents is taking some time.  (is my
  understanding)

  But with SDK 1.3, the header is smaller.  It uses a smaller font and a
  different visual style for the sections bar.  So when combining SDK
  1.3 and Show-Header=true, there is a visual jar when the app finally
  does show that doesn't exist when using SDK 1.2.

  This would ideally be fixed for both 1.2 and 1.3, though unity8
  doesn't know which the app is using at splash screen time (yet).

  But if we can't make it ideal for both, eventually as the number of
  1.3 apps outweighs the 1.2 apps (and especially as we start using 1.3
  in the core apps), we should at least switch the default visual style
  of the splash header to be in line with 1.3.
