Tim, how does this bug affect accessibility? IF it really does, please mark it as blocking bug 343205.

The GUI should be compliant with desktop theme settings, especially for high contrast inverse theme. This high contrast inverse theme is the one designed for accessibility supporting to section 1194.21b.

Given the unknowns around how this would be properly implemented, and the very late timeframe, not going to block on this, but we need to figure out the path forward.

The old dialog based prefs are now deprecated. The new in-content prefs now use appropriate icons when using a high contrast theme.
