  I'm against this purely on visual grounds. That just doesn't look good, sorry. It also makes the link text very hard to read with Breeze dark, regressing something we were explicitly trying to fix with the current design.
  
  I don't see how this patch can move forward as long as it's a mix of uncontroversial changes (use colors from the theme) and huge conceptual changes (totally change how colors are used and the color and alpha of the background). Allow me to repeat my request to split this up into multiple patches so that we can move forward with something. If you need some help juggling multiple patches using arc, I'd be happy to lend a hand.
