DIC - Reduce the number of theme colours

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a feature request, not a bug.

DIC seems to generate themes from a single colour (by default) - so you choose 
a colour from the combo and it generates a theme from it.  This colour 
generation works well!

The problem is there are /so many/ colours and so many are similar, so from a 
UI point of view, where all you want to do is apply a pleasing theme, it's 
confusing.  You can't remember which colour you liked.

What I'd suggest is changing the UI to have a combo with a few (three to five) 
presets for visually really nice themes - I'd say one dark, one based on 
AntiqueWhite, one pale green like VS2003, one blue like Office2003.  Then have 
a Custom... item, and when you choose that one you can select from the large 
range of colours.

--
In addition, could you change the theme it first uses when installed?  It's 
visually very jarring (bright strong green) and my initial reaction was to turn 
it off - as in turn off the plugin.  If you change it to a subtle theme, with 
gentle colours, people may like their initial experience more.
