Description William Jon McCann 2013-03-03 19:58:17 UTC 
Commit 0811514ca30e2020f0781ed2ba4e07535189f2c9 changed the default settings to not use colors from the theme.

I think it is much better to default to the colors that fit in well with the system theme. The colors can always be changed later to suit personal preferences.

The setting to use the system theme by default should be a separate issue from bikeshedding the specifics of the theme colors. We should leave that to the theme maintainers. The important point is to be coherent and consistent by default in our core utilities.

Fixed on master.

Thanks! I will also follow up on the theme colors with the theme gurus so see if there is anything we can improve there.
