Thank you for explanation Ben,
What I'd really appreciate in the future versions is either the owl
using symbolic color names like "background" or a custom color
configuration dialog.
I can see that using only symbolic names can be too restrictive,
since, for example, present GTK doesn't define reasonable amount
of theme-following colors:

I'm going to make a feature request at sf.net.
