Junio,

I submitted the 'gitk: improve dark background' patch to the list, made improvements based on the feedback, and submitted the result two weeks ago without any further feedback. I put my changes off of master, but gitk is identical in both maint and master. Can you pull the changes?

branch gitk_colors from git://gitorious.org/~dfries/git/dfriess-git-mainline.git

This e-mail is also a replay to the last posting of the patches.
