I don't like this every-app-chooses-its-own-colors at all. Though I do
understand that sometimes you need more colors, but that still is different
from "I define my apps colors on my own because I think that is cool". The
later results in apps with black text on dark-gray background in an otherwise
very light desktop-environment => bad. Or in apps with white window background
while the rest of the desktop is optimized for on-stage-in-the-dark with black
background and red foreground => bad. Or it results with using two collors to
"distinguish" which half visually impaired people can't discriminate =>
bad.
and which system color(s) do you propose to use to indicate:
* this thing is muted?
* this thing is rec-enabled?
* the value indicated here is at the low end of the scale?
* this object is blinking to alert you to some condition?
