So, tracking this down, it was a change in 2/5/2016 (?) from kfr, in method
MorphicToolBuilder>>buildPluggableTree:, where it sends:
widget color: Preferences defaultBackgroundColor.
This if after the theme-based setting of the color, so it overrides
whatever the theme wants it to be.

Fix in the inbox, in:
    ToolBuilder-Morphic-cbc.191
Basically, I just removed the override of the color, to let the theme color
be used instead.

(as an aside, I'm not sure why in a selected dark theme, the
defualtBackgroundColor is "veryVeryLightGray").
