Cascading of color scheme doesn't really make sense and is actually causing
problems with the Header when an application allows to overwrite the theme
(e.g. neochat, elisa, ...) but the app theme used doesn't have a Header role
defined, then you get a mix of two themes and it's a bit broken.

There was an attempt to fix this here:
