Leo's convoluted settings system is really trying my patience. I had tried 
to change the UI settings (mostly colors) a few months ago, but I 
eventually gave up...

Now I am trying it again, but I am still encountering difficulties.

First of all, I copied the @data qt-gui-plugin-style-sheet node to 
myLeoSettings (under the @settings node), to play with it.

The problem is that:
1) some the settings that I changed in this node do not seem to take 
effect, even after I save and I restart Leo
2) some of the settings that I want to change are not even present in this 
node, so I cannot change them. Yes, there is a notice that says "Important: 
this stylesheets is responsible for most, but *not* all, of Leos 
appearance.  See also settings in "Colorizer and colors" -- But where do I 
find it?? And why on earth are some UI settings in one node and others 
(closely related to them) in another node?!? This really baffles me. 

For instance, I am trying to change the foreground and background colors of 
panes. Now, the setting for the background color is clearly visible 
(background-color), but where is the setting for the normal text? It's 
nowhere to be seen in this node. The only thing which slightly looks as if 
it could change the text foreground color is the setting font-style, which 
is currently set as normal. Now, if I wanted to change this (assuming I 
could change the foreground color through it), what should I do?

This is really becoming quite frustrating.

Suggestion: could we please have a simplified way of handling UI settings? 
Something straightforward like:

background-color
foreground-color

within the *same node*?

Oh, and did I mention that some of the settings that I changed did not take 
effect at all? I changed the background color to black, on multiple 
settings, but it still remains white!

I really hope some of you guys sorts this settings mess out sooner rather 
than later!
