Description

Curious about whether we see any value in supporting users setting Flat-Laf accent colors in Constellation. It was a new feature noticed during the NetBeans update and enables users to select from a wide range of accent colors. Typically, these colors are automatically added to features such as buttons, and tabs. However currently, most occurrences of the accent color are overwritten in au.gov.asd.tac.constellation.functionality.startup.ConstellationLAFSettings.java, which overwrites the tab color and sets them to blue. Other UI aspects are never set to reflect the accent color and simply reflect a static blue value in a css file.

If we do want to support accent color changing, can we enable this chosen accent color to propagate throughout the application to effect buttons, highlighting and other UI elements that would otherwise be colored blue by default.
