wxPy loc'n wiz: hardcoded colors not compatible with random desktop themes

Description

Hi,

the loc'n wizard's projections,datums,ellipsoid selection table is now offwhite-on-white & unreadable for me, since I changed to another xfce theme (nothing exotic, just another from the pre-installed list). I'm probably not the only one to ever change a desktop theme, which wx seems to be respecting, so hard-coding color choices can be problematic. code that does it visible by r53008.

thanks, Hamish

(I don't have any good solution or suggestion to resolve this, unless wx lets you query the default/existing colors, but thought it was worth mentioning)

Maybe letting it go back to default colors (not specifying a background color) is best here. IIRC, it's ugly grey, but readable.

In part, what that color setting is doing is setting up the zebra stripe in every second row of the table, a useful thing.

It would be great if we could read the existing color and XOR it, but I don't know if that's possible.
