Lost Developer Edition theme color when I ran sync and restarted, how to get it back?

I started using Firefox Developer Edition and I turned on sync so I can sync with current version of Firefox I have been using until now. The sync worked fine but when I restarted Firefox, the developer edition came up with the look of the non developer edition version of Firefox. I went in the customize setting and turned on "Use Firefox Developer Edition Theme" and it changed everything but the color. Instead of being the default black that it was originally installed with, now uses the default greyish tan color that is the default of the non developer version. How do I get look of the Firefox Developer Edition back to it's default look?

I was actually able to figure this issue out. The problem wasn't with Firefox themes, it had to do with the developer tool bar theme. It was using Firebug theme and not the default theme.

If you go to the developer tool bar options can change the theme there which affects the entire browser chrome (instead of just the developer tool bar).

There are also a few choices for lightweight theme (Persona) via the Themes button in the Customize palette window.
