Comment 24 for bug 66760

Make these changes below to your branch in the 3 places they apply:

 /* Palette indexes */
 .background = 0,
   .progressbar_background = 7,
   .progressbar_foreground = 100,
 .text_background = 21,
 .text_foreground = 49,
 .text_success = 49,
 .text_failure = 44,

With these values, you should not experience the colors randomly changing. If you do for some reason, then let me know.
I personally think that this is the best fix possible.
