no, it is not a hack.
Dark theme is a combination of two things: a refactor to move out hardcoded 
colors (they are everywhere) and the theme itself. 
the cursor color is also a hardcoded value someplace there (not the fault of 
the theme :P). 

but... #installFullTheme should be used between dark and lighter themes to 
restore all values. 
If you choose dark theme, to go back you should first execute:

Pharo3Theme installFullTheme. 

that should restore everything as before. 

so well… I do not like the theme design, but the dark theme is following its 
guidelines. Then is not a hack, but it has some limitations :)
also, that’s why it is integrated in Pharo4 and not in Pharo3… most probably it 
need some iterations until is ready.
