Comment (by pulkomandy):
The thing is, there already is another system for live color updates,
directly integrated in app_server. Looncraz did most of the work there,
adding SetViewUIColor and the like, which lets the app_server
automatically update the colors as they are changed.
I was wondering (and I think that's what Looncraz was referring to, too),
if we could use this in combination with B_DESKTOP_COLOR, so that the view
updates its color automatically. It depends on the meaning of
B_DESKTOP_COLOR, wether it is, as axel suggests, the "default" desktop
color, or the current setting (as for all the other B_*_COLOR). With the
extra catch that the desktop color is settable per workspace, so it is not
quite the same as the other colors already.
Well, if B_DESKTOP_COLOR isn't applicable, then the patch sounds fine.
