--- Comment #3 from Sahil Gautam <[email protected]> ---
We disabled customizations for Automatic theme for the following reason.

- Let's say that the customization section is enabled, and the user changes a
lot of colors (including the UI colors). Now to see those colors in effect, the
user has to restart the application (no alternative to restart found yet).

- Now after restart, the user found that the UI is messed up (because he
changed the colors). Now he wants to reset the colors back to the default
values. The only  way to do this is to go through the dropdown and individually
change the values for the colors to automatic.

- One might say that the reset button should do that. The reset button is used
for throwing away changes which have not been committed yet, so that cannot be
used to set all values to Automatic.

- And if we add another button anywhere else in the UI, it would look super
ugly. That's why I (and Heiko) agreed on disabling cusotmizations for Automatic
theme.

- One Potential solution I can think of is to not show the UI color entries in
the customizations dropdown. That way the user wouldn't be able to shoot
himeself in the foot. Then for any other scheme, we add those entries.
(Opinions on this?)
