If you activate Extras -> Themes & Colors -> Colorful Windows to turn
on colorful winds, then the Tools menu entries will have colored box
icons to the left of each menu entry. The color of the box icon is
determined by defaultWindowColor for each tool. If no default color is
specified, then no colored box icon will be displayed in the Tools menu.

The earlier version of #gitInfrastructureMenuItemOn: that is in trunk
today did not honor window colors, instead it had hard-coded the menu
item color. I fixed this in my update, but in order for it to work
similarly to the other tool menu entries, it is necessary for the
tool (SqueakBrowser) to specify some window color other than the
default of Model>>#uniformWindowColor.

Note also that the current version in trunk is broken when colorful
windows is disabled. In that case, the git browser (and Metacello loader)
Tool menu entries will incorrectly display grey icons (but no icon
box should be displayed in this case).
