Joshua, could you confirm when you have a chance? Indeed, that's precisely what I'm recommending. Further, when we need to colour a widget that isn't usually coloured in the theme (like the red/green colouring of build items in the hobv1) we should try and use a colour from the palette defined in the current theme to avoid issues like #1701[1][2] and another example from the wild[3][4]. I found a reasonable resource on the how and why[5]. > If we decide to implement this way, people will need to understand that > this applies to all UI elements without exceptions. Any particular > requests (like Jessica's) could be looked at on a case by case basis. But should be well justified, and generated from the host theme's palette.
