Hi Karl,

I like it (so far), but a warning for others trying this. It works best if you can close all windows and re-open.  I you have lots of open windows (say, workspaces) with unfinished work in them that you can't throw away, the results will be 'wonky'.  The text is highlighted dark, but the background is white.  (newly opened workspaces are good, though).  Similar funny business with Browsers, but those are easier to deal with.

Also, I think it made a chance to the world background/color at the same time.  I wouldn't have expected that.

Ah, good point. 

Use this change set with caution. 

It does not relyably update already open windows. (Yet)

And you are right that the desktop color changes, the default desktop background is quite bright compared to the windows background color.
