User should have more control over the "urgent" (?) alert color

[Juno]

tl;dr: the urgent notification dot uses the normal dots' inverted color. This does not look nice and gives the user zero customization over it.

I do not know how it is called, but I will assume it is "urgent". I refer to "urgent" as the dot that blinks once a new message has arrived or the app is requesting attention. I suppose this is the system's native equivalent to bold text.

Docky tries to fit with the environment by using the GTK selected colors. That is great, but it intentionally goes the other way: to select a color for "urgent" it gets the inverted color used for the selected background (GTK).

If a user selects yellow as his selected background, Docky will display the normal dots as yellow and the urgent one as blue. If the user selects pink, it will be green, if the user selects red, it will be light blue and so on. This is a setting that simply forces the user to use a color scheme that does not match no matter what he does.

I would suggest that the dots' colors are set according to individual GTK selected colors or that the user has option to pick in the Docky configuration or that themes are able to set their own colors for the dots.

If this is unusual behavior, say so and I'll file a bug report, but I believe it is the way it should, so I am adding it as a feature request.
