[Bug 1725536] [NEW] Ubuntu 17.10 Dock doesn't respect the color choice of the Gnome Shell theme

[Ubuntu Tinkerer]

Public bug reported:

I performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10 (wiped system partition) but
kept my home partition and home folder from Ubuntu Unity 17.04. I've so
far done minimal changes to my system besides from installing some apps.

The Ubuntu 17.10 Dock uses orange dots to indicate what apps are open
and with how many instances. But changing the Gnome Shell theme doesn't
change this color even if the theme changes the color orange everywhere
else in the theme.

Take the highly popular Arc theme for instance
(https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme). Installing it will change the
orange color that appears in the the alt+tab panel and the Gnome
Overview. But the orange color will remain in the Dock, causing a
slightly annoying inconsistency.

I think the original Gnome Dash to Dock extension respects the Gnome
Shell's choice of color (https://micheleg.github.io/dash-to-dock/).
Maybe it can be seen there from where the extension reads this crucial
color code and then you can do the same in the Dock?
