Change default colour scheme

Hi

You can set the colorscheme by adding settingsmodel.colorscheme("Scheme name") to the web page script, e.g. to be called when the web page loads.

To get the default colorscheme name from default_setings.cfg, you need (in the web page script) to download it from the server and parse it, or let the server to extract the setting value:

1. In the default_settings.cfg, add the setting, e.g. colorscheme = Clustal
2. Read the setting in server: in wasabi_server.py add colorscheme = getconf('colorscheme')
3. Make it accessbile by request: in wasabi_server.py, add to post_checkserver function: status["colorscheme"] = colorscheme
4. script.js calls the "checkserver" request on page load and reads data from the server in function startup(). Add there (after line 5410): if(data.colorscheme) settingsmodel.colorscheme(data.colorscheme);
   Note: default_settings.cfg is only read when the Wasabi server is run for the first time. After that, the copy Wasabi data/server_settings.cfg is used instead, so edit that one. Also, restart wasabi_server.py after editing the configfile.

I should add a more general way of setting defaults for javascript-side settings from the server-side config file. Meanwhile, the above workaround hopefully helps.
