Comment (by isius):

 Please bear with me as I try to understand the lay of the land here. I'm
 having some difficulty figuring out which files/components are connected.
 Especially considering the apparent smattering of legacy and new Layout
 API code?

 I now realize that the "folders" I originally referred to are actually a
 "query" or "virtual directory" "pose view" (I don't know which, nor
 understand the difference). Both reference
 {{{
 SetViewUIColor(B_DOCUMENT_BACKGROUND_COLOR, B_DARKEN_1_TINT);
 }}}

 Which makes me question:
 * What is the difference between a virtual directory and a query?
 * What is "pose"?


 But more specifically to this ticket... could something like one of the
 following be added to
 
[http://xref.plausible.coop/source/xref/haiku/src/kits/interface/InterfaceDefs.cpp]
 instead of adding a tint with B_DARKEN_1_TINT?

 * B_QUERY_BACKGROUND_COLOR
 * B_VIRTUAL_BACKGROUND_COLOR
 * B_POSE_BACKGROUND_COLOR


 I ask because if one wishes to set the background to black, there is no
 current way to do so within a query/virtual directory.
