Jython has text color blue but when you add other platforms they have black text. Also, selecting Jython in the manager makes the background red but other instances get blue background when selected. Not sure if this is by design but it is confusing and inconsistent. The red background makes me think there is something wrong and why should different platforms have different font colors?

That is by design. I put that in so you can tell what platform is default. if you click on another platform then click "make default" and then click off. you will notice that the new default turns blue and the old will turn black.
OK, I understand it is by design and works as you described.
Verified this is invalid because it is the desired behavior.
I think the color red is probably not a good color to use for item selection. Red is commonly used to indicate error or problem. When I bring up the platform manager, I only have one item "Jython 2.5a3+" there. When I click on it, it's highlighted with red color. Looks like red color is used to highlight the selected default item when I have two items there. A good selection color to use is the light blue that is currently being used by NB. Take a look at the project properties dialog on the categories column on the left when an item is selected. Using what NB is using is more consistent and have the NB look and feel too. I reopen this issue now. This issue will come up again anyway when we will have the UI review for FCS per Ted.
changed selected color to blue for default selection
