Bone Group Theme 09 makes Graph Editor track names unreadable

When you set a Bone Group to preset colour Theme 09 the yellow colour makes text on track names in the Graph Editor and Dopesheet nearly impossible to read as both the text and the background are a light colour. The whole of point of presets is being able to easily use them without much adjustment.

Standard colour themes need to work with the default Blender interface , text needs to remain readable. If it is impossible to find a colour combination that doesn't clash perhaps the background colour in these editors should not be affected by Bone Group themes .

Some other themes have similar readability issues.

Perhaps a small icon indicating group colour would be enough. This would avoid breaking interface readability.

In the GE and DSE, there's an option to ignore the bone group colors.

* @GuiltyGhost * ok that's good an option exists, but that should perhaps be the default in that case, and it should still be readable even when bone group colors are enabled.

Edge length overlays are also hard to read on the default dark theme.
