Bright theme colors need improvement, look bad especially on overhead projectors. #36

The robot editor currently autodetects if you have a dark or bright theme and chooses from one of its two hard-coded themes based on this.

However, the bright theme is maybe not that great so it should be reviewed.

I would suggest to give user possibility to choose color, because theme is not ok. Hard to read green on white for example.

The git version now provides a basic preference panel for changing all colors. Default colors have not been improved on yet, though.

Window -> Preferences -> Robot Framework -> Syntax Coloring

The editor color display still seems to bug a bit immediately after changing the preferences. As a workaround the colors get repaired when any change is done to the file.

For the record, the editor no longer autodetects your theme and provides only the bright theme as default, requiring the user to adjust the colors when using dark theme. Possible we could add support for multiple default themes to choose from sometimes later.

Included in release 1.2.0.
