Bug Description

Shotwell and Photos currently hardcode the image area background color as pitch black, #000.

That pitch black background is quite distracting when viewing photos, as seen in e.g. http://i.imgur.com/g0YttO9.png

Something along the lines of http://i.imgur.com/U5sk420.png would be a better idea, as it creates a more uniform chrome for the image that doesn't draw that much attention.

Ideally we'd want that color defined by the theme, but a constant defined in build-time config file would work as a stop-gap measure.

Fixed in the checker background, still needs investigation for the single photo view background.

So, as I wrote above, not fixed.

Hm I'm going to move it back to "confirmed" then so it doesn't look like I'm still working on it
