You need to change themes at the moment. All of the colours are defined
in the GTK+ (or 'control') theme, and there is no cute little colour
changer dialogue... This is something that numerous people have started
but no one has ever finished. :-)

The only ways that SVG is related to GNOME themes is that some themes
may use SVG icons, and there is a special (but very rarely used) theme
engine (software code) based on librsvg. Instead of using images to draw
elements like the pixbuf engine, it uses SVG.
