Cool.
Yes, my panes are gray too now. But at the end, I just redefined Color white to return something grayish... Too much things to change in too many places. And the Window color in the settings is absolutely not giving anything else than weird results (I tried with some kind of "Nuclear Green" and it really was "interesting".
Also, the STHStyler80 class coloring schemes are nice and well, but without an editor, good luck w/ the colors. That's an area where spec would come in handy. About that, I read that some paper would surface explaining spec a bit more. I updated the SVN but didn't saw anything conclusive. Is there something?
Also, I wonder what the relationship is with the color settings in the prefs.
