Second version; it simplifies the code to initialize and update the colors in
the two file list views a bit, and it calculates a gray color for the inactive
selection from the active selection. This looks a lot better in the themes I
have tried.

The bug with the inactive diff selection background on Mac is still there,
however.

--- 8< ---

This makes it easier to see at a glance which of the four main views has the
keyboard focus.

Nitpick: Do what is being done for select_bg and select_fg and create a 
local variable for it.

Is there no simpler way to extract r, g, and b? This is a little cryptic 
to be honest.

The patch looks good for the most part. I can fix the above nitpick 
locally and merge it in tomorrow if you send me your signoff by then. I 
don't want to hold off the PR to Junio too much longer. A simple reply 
containing your Signed-off-by should be fine. Thanks.

If you are willing to add this in yourself, that would be nice, I don't
have time to send another patch today:

Actually, I find this pretty elegant, and from what I have seen, it's
idiomatic Tcl. A less cryptic way would be (untested):

  set components [winfo rgb . $rgb]
  set r [lindex $components 0]
  set g [lindex $components 1]
  set b [lindex $components 2]

But I much prefer the one-line version.

Awesome, thanks for that.

I agree. Using lassign is much neater. But that is not my point. I am 
talking about the "[winfo rgb . $rgb]". This call generates the list 
that is then assigned to the 3 variables. This part is a little cryptic. 
Is there no simpler way to separate out the r, g, and b values?

According to the winfo man page this is the only way to do this;
see [1].

Instead of the lassign, you can also do

  foreach {r g b} [winfo rgb . $rgb] {}

but I don't think that's better.
