Works great for me, but the one color you can't change via this form is the color of read messages. So I busted out Stylish for Firefox to finish my Gmail customization. If you'd like to control the color of read messages in Gmail, you can borrow my Stylish style if you'd like: Gmail Stylish Tweaks.
