[PATCH] gitk: improve dark background support

From: David Fries <david@fries.net>
Date: Nov 4, 2010, 00:35 UTC
Message-ID: <20101104003524.GI7835@spacedout.fries.net>

Replace most uses of black with $fgcolor as items such as a black outline on the tag or tag lines with a black background doesn't show up. Use $fgcolor instead to make it contrast with the background.

Use diffcolor 2 for link as blue on a black background might as well look like dark blue on black and is very difficult to read. The "Diff: hunk header" keeps the colors more consistent and both default to blue.

If the foreground color is dark use light tags, branches, and remote fill colors. If it is light use darker versions so the text is readable.
