Hi Stefan, I see. This also explains why no color is pre-selected in the Appearance preference page.
How "hacky" is your idea? There is no need for a quick-and-dirty solution. However, I would like to release on Friday, to have enough time for the following things: * Reviewing the announcement/README file * Figuring out the drop-in problem (that your task, Michael) * Preparing the announcement of the new Saros website -- which should be available as soon as the DNS servers invalidated their caches.

I can create a hack for the current release if you like.
