Great link! I have never been a fan of the colored windows, with one glowing exception: clay rose (very subtle tint) really works for the debugger.
Dan also mentioned graph paper. Ledger green is a nice background color for reading text. What I want to see is a clean way to set text editor background colors for the various tools. I have found mentions of a Shout style for same, but I have never found it. As a further argument in favor of backgrounds, if we were to adopt wx or some other native framework for our tools, the non-client areas would be drawn for us and therefore unchangeable. Tools would need to distinguish themselves by icon, background colors, and finally overall appearance.
