Summary0006695: Change "foreground" color
DescriptionYou can change the background color on a view (at least a 3D view) but not the "foreground" color. Instead, ParaView implicitly assumes that all foreground elements, things like text and lines in 3D widgets and outlines, should be white. If the user wants a white background, then these foreground elements are invisible until their color is changed one-by-one.

3D views should have add added concept of a "foreground" color. These foreground elements should, by default, follow the foreground color. This means that if the foreground color is changed, the color of all the text, for example, should also change (unless the user set it to something else).

You should also be able to save the foreground color between sessions in the same way that the background color is saved.

Adding notion of "global properties" which can be edited
from application settings. Solid color etc. can be set as one of the global
properties and then when one changes the global properties, it changes all
objects that are linked to it. Currently only colors are provided as global
properties but can be extended to other types such as line thickness etc.

WWWow, this is fantastic!!

One setting that was missed, that is very important, is the Color Legend. I cannot see how to change it through the new global settings panel, and when I manually change it to black, and even hit the "make default" button, it goes back to white.

Legend text colors are by default linked with global
"Text" color. Fixing the color editor dialog to allow the user to choose the
global property linking.
