Yesssssssss!!!!!!

Esteban,�� you really made�� my day on this one.

you are welcome :)

The good thing is also that with your changes we can spot where to look for changing all we want now.

yes, the idea was to make a dark theme possible by removing hardcoded colorisation and dumb things (I like current one, but the most important is that now *it is* possible to play with themes for real).��

now, we need to think how we can actually integrate the changes to the image (I suppose not in the way it is done now, as I said��� it is mostly a hack).��

Esteban

Thanks again.

Phil
