Well there is no subclass of GLMBrickColorThemer so dark themes get
hardcoded light colors in places for example.

The Sublimish theme revealed these kind of problems. I am busy
investigating.

I made such a subclass and it is used by #colors now. Was missing.

GLM stuff should use UITheme current xxxColor items whenever possible.

Also we should have a way to reset its color registry that is cached and
makes it hard to do things especially in a playground that uses it...

Maybe Brick can help in the future with a clean skinning and color theme
setup. Especially if Bloc can do whatever window shape (pours oil on the
fire...).
