If that is true then why do you use the additional blue for activated
buttons instead of using a gray one:

lightSelectionColor
^ Color gray

in your original theme - you can distinguish buttons already
using the gray-style gradient (see attached example).

However ... all of this is very specific to a particular persons
view of the world. As you said you've choosen blue since it is
the color of Moose...

Re: [update 1.2] #12297

Because we could not distinguish it enough when there are many controls on the board. Exactly because color is used so sparingly makes a light blue efficient.

Any design will depend on someone's perception, but this does not mean that there cannot be reasons behind it :).

Cheers,
Doru
