Comment 15 for bug 1316384

Rafael:

Thank you for the additional information.

So apparently this is another GTK thing.

PcManFM still uses GTK, but it looks great. Its buttons only change
color when the mouse hovers over them.

I checked out two applications that I know use QT (rather than GTK), and
they look better.

So when we switch to QT, things will be better with customized colors.
It is something to look forward to.

Thanks again,
Aere
