Slightly OT, I noticed one thing that was pointed out after I filed a
bug against the Music Store plugin...

In the default theme, the Window borders are all bright white, but so
are the scroll bars.  I have discovered that I have great difficulty
seeing scroll bars against this background and I had to adjust the
window border color to a medium grey in order to actually see the scroll
bars and use them.

The default theme results in a bright white app window with matching
white scroll bars and the outlines are a very light grey.  This could be
an issue for people with trouble seeing bright colors (as apparently I
do).

Pesonally, I have trouble sometimes distinguishing shades of very bright
(approaching white) color, while I have above average ability to
distinguish dark shades (approaching black).  

And I can't be the only one who has trouble seeing the scroll bars.
