I've been using gitk with this patch for a while, and I find the new
appearance *very* pleasing! It gives gitk a fresh, modern look.
There is one major gripe, though: the new background color overrides the
selection background and makes the selection invisible. This is a
showstopper.
Note that the search result highlight does not become invisible.
