Re: [manifest] A means to control the "theme color" (#225)

> Why do we need theme color in the Manifest? Is anyone going to use it? 

We would like to be able to use `theme_color` in other contexts, like for making speed-dial cells (together with the icons). 

> It can't be used in Chrome because the theme color needs to be available at first paint and we can't have the Manifest available at first paint.

Yes, you would need to manage the theme color until the manifest is applied. However, once it's applied, then theme color would be available on first paint. It's not really different from, say, default orientation.
