[SailfishDevel] change Silica theme details

[Wim de Vries]

Thanks all for the replies.
First, I sure like the swiping functionality of Silica, especially the 
pull down/push up menus, page indicator, etc..
Still, my app is used in a cockpit. Many (light) aircrafts and gliders 
do have full "glass" canopies (like an F16).
This is an extremely bright light environment, so I need contrasting colors.
In the current app (ubuntu), buttons are light green (00FF00) with black 
text, strong warnings FF0000, and soft warnings orange.

Current problem:
I did push some of my own buttons in the Silica menu items, but
- I need more (light/color) contrast in the highlight section of each 
menu item (when it is selected);
- I am not sure if it allowed (non Silica stuff in Silica elements).

Also, the page indicators (left top: indicating that you are in n-th of 
x pages are to 'soft' for my app.
Thanks.

But the question is that can you give an example of where the default theme colors are not readable enough, and what kind of ambient theme are you using?
