This restores using the distinct colors for cursor and edited text,
which was lost in the theme overhaul in 7f80883eb1.
Since delta-clocks are not editable, the same color is used for
delta display and the edit cursor (orange in the default theme).
Actually I'm not an author of this theme. I've decided to try... if there is no objection. Added comments to < Color > section.
I use this picture as a reference:
In the original file there was an excess line (176) - deleted in new version:
176 <ColorAlias name="lua action button: fill" alias="theme:bg"/>
177 <ColorAlias name="lua action button: fill" alias="widget:bg"/>

Colors are assigned one of 6 major groups:
*Alert colors: Typically mute/solo/feedback/selections etc ... these should follow Ardour convention, only the saturation should change with themes.
*BG colors (empty spaces...)
*Contrast colors: Should contrast nicely against BG. Typically clocks, markers, panners and such.
*Black/White/Grays: you can expect these to work with "any" BG. Good for borders, separators, etc.
*Meter colors: Typically green->yellow->red or similar. Should follow Ardour conventions.
*Widget colors: slight variations of the BG color. This is where the creative choices are made.
NOTE to theme-ers: Widgets should choose one of the colors based on FUNCTION. If you want a red widget, choose "widget red", not "alert red" or "meter color9"
