Add test for rendering of UI accents and selection

[vlsi]

Accent and selection can be changed from the command line, so it should be possible to

1. change settings via command line
2. launch demo, capture screenshots

Here's the source: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/9xtg0y/switching_system_appearance_using_terminal/e9wemy8/

I'm not sure how to generate "UI style updated" in realtime, however, executing defaults write -g AppleAccentColor -int 3 before launching the demo works.

#  Appearance
defaults write -globalDomain "AppleInterfaceStyle" -string "Dark"
#  to Disable: delete entry

#  Accent colour
#  this setting defines two properties:
#    - AppleAccentColor
#    - AppleAquaColorVariant
#  it also presets AppleHighlightColor, but this can be overriden
#
#  note that AppleAquaColorVariant is alway "1" except for "Graphite", where it is "6".
#  note that the AccentColor "Blue" is default (when there is no entry) and has no AppleHighlightColor definition.
#
#  Color    AppleAquaColorVariant    AccentColor    AppleHighlightColor

defaults write -globalDomain "AppleAquaColorVariant" -int 6
defaults write -globalDomain "AccentColor" -int -1

#  Highlight colour
#  set to Pink
defaults write -globalDomain "AppleHighlightColor" -string "1.000000 0.749020 0.823529 Pink"

Does defaults write -globalDomain "AppleHighlightColor" -string "1.000000 0.749020 0.823529 Pink" actually work for you. On github actions:

Runtime.getRuntime.exec("defaults write -globalDomain "AppleHighlightColor" -string \"1.000000 0.749020 0.823529 Pink\"");

produces 2020-04-10 20:12:11.994 defaults[1277:10469] Unexpected argument 0.733333; leaving defaults unchanged.

Ok. Invoking the command specifically using bash -c does work. However the changes are only applied if the settings are reopened. Maybe this script could work: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/332003/toggle-light-mode-dark-mode-and-accent-color-from-one-to-another
