UI theme color customization

In After Effects versions up to 2024 it was possible to enable UI theme colorizing
via internal console/debug settings (theme colorizing).

Starting from AE 2025 this functionality has been removed or disabled,
and there is currently no way to customize UI accent / highlight colors.

This negatively affects:
– readability for long sessions
– accessibility (eye strain, color sensitivity)
– user workflow consistency across versions

Request:
Please restore UI theme color customization (even as an experimental or advanced option)
or officially expose it in Preferences → Appearance.

This feature already existed and worked before AE 2025.
