screen uses a mix of breeze light/dark items. The

  The problem is that it's not a /dark/ theme. Right now we expect the user to 
manually change the theme if they do not like the color of the icons. If we'd

look out of place on light backgrounds. We have no mechanism to adjust the 
theme based on the wallpaper's lightness automagically right now.
