The main reason for the #defines is replacing color: 255 255 255 255
with sed in a script breaks all the non text parts of the theme, by
adding the #define i can essentially sed fonts.edc which won't break non
text parts. In a ideal future world it maybe as you describe or color:
@text or color:@highlight as gtk2 did. The only reason colorclasses are
really relevant to the discussion now is that my changes will save
someone having to go through and add them manually when they are
implemented as i plan on doing the manual part now.
