I don't think tweaking one or two of the color assignments associated with
Ruler in hopes of having it look good in both light and dark color
schemes/themes is going to be viable.   Also there is chance of  disrupting
color assignment actions when Assistive Technology tools are active and  HC
is detected active on the OS--found in app/settings.cxx  (just parts of the
default colorshceme get tweaked along with the change to HC icons).

Unfortunately,  kind of believe that Joel's simple color change to the ruler
substituting GetDeactiveColor()  for GetDarkShadowColor() is going to result
in a non-crisp/lower contrast ruler in both Light and Dark color schemes.

Issue has been that colors of the ruler pulled from colors of named elements
in styles, usually the default colorscheme, can only be adjusted in source
as Joel just has done.  It really seems that to do this correctly  the half
dozen color assignment(s) for the Ruler (in ruler.cxx)  should be
individually exposed for assignment in the Application Colors (General
section as an Enchanced color scheme)  along with  Expert Config
:EnhancedColorScheme stanzas.  

They then would be exposed for users to edit in their
registrymodifications.xcu
