Filing this since I've started to work on it...
Attached patch WIP patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Just attaching a wip patch. Needs some testing - I think it should work, though. This patch also removes the pref-publish panel and its .dtd file - not sure when the panel was used (has it ever been used?)- it's commented out in the overlay file.

This version of the patch uses a broadcaster in order to disable/enable labels/buttons when customColors radio values are changed. It also improves the handling of locked prefs a bit. That said, I've spent some time thinking of what to do with locked "editor.*_color" prefs, but I haven't found any solution that seems reasonable.
OK, so I tested this (attachment #323735 [details] [diff] [review]) on mac with instantApply set to "false" in about:config, and everything seems to work. I still like to think a bit more on this, though.
Target Milestone: --- → seamonkey2.0alpha
Another question that probably should be discussed: Do we want to move everything in editor/ui to some other location? I can imagine that stuff that both seamonkey and thunderbird uses could go to one place (should be settled with thunderbird folks) and the seamonkey-specific pref files could go to another place (suite/somewhere).

WIP patch

>+  toggleElement("editorAuthor");
>+  toggleElement("useCustomColors");
>+  toggleElement("backgroundImageInput");

As IanN points out, I don't need those (and the function)
I started to look into how one should be able to honor the locked editor color prefs. I have a version that doesn't work 100% yet, I'll investigate more when I'm back (from vacation).
Hmm, I can't use the broadcaster if I want to honor locked editor.*_color" prefs...
Attached patch New version (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Here's another WIP. This should work 100%. This one also uses new styling on the default attribute. MailNews not tested yet. Comments are welcome - not sure if my strategy is the best...
(In reply to comment #7)

> MailNews not tested yet.

Forget that, not sure why I thought that mattered...


+  for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++)
+  {
+    let isLocked = isLocked(buttons[i].getAttribute("id"));

Oops, this doesn't work (of course).
Attached patch Another version (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Some points of interest:

1) Removes pref-publish.xul and pref-publish.dtd
2) No more dependencies on editor js
3) One global var left
4) Honors locked prefs (even the editor.*_color ones). 
5) In order to make the win/nix ui respond to browser.display* (etc) colour changes in about:config, "instantapply="true" is set on the browser colours preference elements. I'm not sure if this is considered hacky, but it works - for some reason I couldn't make it work without this.

6) In order to remove the color well colour (spacer bg), the editor version of setColorwell uses the "default" attribute and removes the style attribute. It seems to me that should be enough to use the "opacity: 0;" on 'default="true"' in toggleElements, executed before any colour is set. If a editor color pref is locked and you switch to use custom colors, colors will be set but they won't show up because of the opacity rule set in toggleElements. That said, I wonder if there's a better way of doing this than what is done in toggleElements (previousSibling etc)...

7) selectImageFile is without the hack in http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/editor/ui/dialogs/content/EdDialogCommon.js#210. It seems to work fine for me without it on mac (I'm not sure how to test it, but I haven't noticed anything), but I don't know about other OS.

8) We could get rid of the getColorAndUpdatePref function if we added a new color picker file for the composer prefs. I'm not 100% satisfied with my solution of passing id and types (looks ugly)...

Eww, our editor default colours aren't the same as our browser default colours. That got me rather confused!

>-  // Setting to blank color will remove color from buttons,
>-  setColorWell("textCW",       "");
>-  setColorWell("linkCW",       "");
>-  setColorWell("activeCW",     "");
>-  setColorWell("visitedCW",    "");
>-  setColorWell("backgroundCW", "");
If you don't want to do that, then put !important on the CSS, not opacity.

>+  if ((previewID == "normalText" || previewID == "ColorPreview"))
((Double vision))

>+                  instantApply="true"
This is no good, I managed to change my browser colours without hitting OK :-(
[open preferences, open new page preferences, open appearance/colours, change]

Attachment #327330 - Flags: review-
Hmm, it also seems that using the onchange event on the same preference elements in different panels is not a god idea... Open preferences, open new page prefs, open appearance/colours and then change the "Use system colors" prefs and notice the little js warning from pref-colors.js ("Warning: Empty string passed to getElementById().") I can make that worse if I first load both panels (new page prefs first) and then change the pref in about:config:

Error: document.getElementById(element.getAttribute("preference")) is null
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/pref/pref-colors.js
Line: 53

As Karsten points out, you can't really have the same id's in the 2 panels... I have to use nsIPrefBranch2 instead.
Some changes:

- Now using browser pref observers in order to make the ui respond to about:config changes in browser colors

- function names now starts with uppercase. Not sure if I like it, but it looks like it was the original style and it will make Mnyromyr happy

- changed a few id's in the xul file. All id's except "ColorPreview" (which depends on css style rules) now begins with lowercase

I'll have a -w version up in a few minutes

Whoops, ignore that (should start with uppercase there)

Did one of the versions update the editor preview if you updated the browser colours even in non-instant-apply mode, or have I been dreaming?

UpdateBgPreview is the only user of gPreviewBGColor, so you should pass it in as a parameter rather than abusing a global. r+sr=me with that fixed.

>+    document.getElementById(previewID).setAttribute("style","color: " + color + ";");

If you're OK with it, I'd like to do what I did in bug 411226:

1) I land the re-named file
2) I then land #328536 (with updated paths and addressed comments), and at the same time I remove the old file
3) I post a "this is what I landed" patch

re-name pref-composer.js to pref-editing.js

I think you should a) land the patch using the wrong filenames b) wait for us to switch to hg c) create a new patch for the rename.

You're right, it isn't, I didn't think to look in the XUL. Sorry.
Hmm, maybe I could split UpdateBgPreview somehow and get rid of the global...

I'll attach a new patch once I've solved comment #23

- Parameter names are now prefixed with "a"
- A few function names/comments have been changed, also added a few blank lines

Nit: you don't actually need to call SetBgAndFgColors in the system colour case because they're already the correct colours.

You're right, you need this in case it was that preference that changed.

>>+  colorPreview.style.backgroundImage = !aImage ? "" : "url(" + aImage + ")";
>Nit: aImage && "url(" + aImage + ")";
Instead of !aImage ? "" : "url(" + aImage + ")";
Landed (cvs trunk) with 'aImage && "url(" + aImage + ")";':
