Hi to all,
also this time none gave an answer, so I can try to take this task (I'll add
a ticket for this in JIRA, for the 2.0 release).

On platforms, I have Windows XP and Windows 7, and also Ubuntu 10.04, but I
haven't a Mac so on this I can't help (I can try with some screenshot but I
don't know ...).

So, what do you think if I take a (backupped) version of the Dark colors and
add comments to explain each color index where is used ? Could be very
useful to anyone wants to make a similar thing (last year when I've done
this I had to check Pivot code many hours to understand this). And this
could become a template for users, but in this case probably should be moved
/ copied inside the skin packages (for example the TerraTheme_dark.json now
is in tutorials).

And for new json files, to simplify its usage, probably they should go
inside packages of Terra skin, and if possible in a user-friendly package
...


Note that probably I'll have to resolve this ticket to have more flexibility
in color management here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-245
(already assigned to me).
Related to this ticket, what do you think if I'd add also a boolean dark (or
isDark) attribute (default false and not present in skin json file) but that
could help in some cases (in the skin to make some decision on colors) ?


And last (but important), to test the behavior I can use two strategies:
- use the Kitchen Sink demo (executed with the flag on the command line for
loading the custom colors file), but note that here some components have
their color always overridden, so if possible I should remove some overrides
there (if not all, at least some), ok ?
- use the Component Explorer, but in this case I think that the problem is
that I can't reload colors without restarting the application, right ?


As always, if someone has comments, tell me.

Bye,
Sandro
