accentColor is not used. Unclear if this is related to theme-appcompat changes.
so. many. regressions.
Set homepage is set behind a Nightly flag – blocking that bug and not prioritizing it for now.
GeckoPreferences uses the system theme so this is only a problem on Lollipop+ where accentColor is used.
Summary: Set a homepage preference has the wrong theme → Set a homepage preference has the wrong theme on Lollipop+
It looks like we don't extend `android.support.v7.preference.DialogPreference` because the v7 prefs library is not included in our builds. However, DialogPreference is pretty explicit to say we should extend AppCompatActivity, which GeckoPreferences does not (bug 1205124). But then again, we don't do this for GeckoApp yet either (bug 1220309). Let's try it out! An alternative quick fix: set the style of the dialog separately using built-in styles, not AppCompat.
We uplifted this and may want to uplift this fix, in which case, perhaps the quick fix is more appropriate.
Motivation for my approach with the upcoming patch: 11:57 <sebastian> mcomella: Did you try just duplicating accentColor? Having it with and without prefix? 11:58 <mcomella> sebastian: Yeah – I started to look into where the style comes from... There's no theme set when creating the dialog, so it uses the default styles http://androidxref.com/4.4.4_r1/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/preference/DialogPreference.java#281 11:58 <mcomella> sebastian: But there's this: http://androidxref.com/4.4.4_r1/xref/frameworks/base/core/java/android/preference/DialogPreference.java#281 11:58 <mcomella> sebastian: Which we never declare ever, afaict 11:58 <mcomella> sebastian: So I'm trying that out

I also found that the Site Settings dialog's theme (which also uses an AlertDialog) is incorrect before this patch (i.e. has some default colors) and is fixed after this patch.
Comment on attachment 8694946 [details] MozReview Request: Bug 1220315 - Use alertDialogTheme on v21+ to add accentColor. r=sebastian Approval Request Comment [Feature/regressing bug #]: bug 1227322 [User impact if declined]: Users will see the homepage preference dialog with the wrong theme, which basically is the rest of preferences has our Firefox orange accent color but this dialog has a green accent color. [Describe test coverage new/current, TreeHerder]: Tested locally. [Risks and why]: Low – we started using a previously unused attribute, alertDialogTheme, and set it to get the dialog to appear as expected. Things look correct in this dialog (and the site settings dialog) but it's not guaranteed we didn't change the style of another alert dialog. We only set the attribute on API 21+ devices, so the potential negative effects are limited. [String/UUID change made/needed]: None

Looks like my exported patch had ^M EOL characters, causing the patch to not apply properly – I'm not sure why that is.
