Gtk3 port theming

[Landry Breuil]

In that particular context, i dont know if this is "the recommended
way", but the color is a user setting for the label or the
progressbar, so whatever the theme does, the user wants the color he
has set in the dialog to be used....
If you have a better way, i'm all ears.
