I see in 60467 that the deed is done.  Okay, so moving forward... be
prepared ;) for a surge of feedback as a bunch of us
dark-theme-newbies start using it in earnest.  I understand those that
been using it a while already are obviously happy with how its tuned,
and probably not many things can be accommodated, but there is one
thing...

Maybe its that its 1AM, or its my astigmatism, but my first impression
was a shock at the high contrast pure-white-on-black text - for the
World Menu and System Browser - to the degree that my eyes felt
crosseyed.  Particularly the title-bar-text was jarring.  Dimming it
slightly made it *much* easier to focus.   Could
dark-theme-connoisseurs try this out...

Pharo3DarkTheme>>textColor
    ^ Color veryLightGray lighter


And wow!  That very bright green in TestRunner hurts.


Other than that, so far it looks cool.

cheers -ben
