Indexer property page with stripes

CDT explicitly sets background on some controls and as a result some UI elements look odd:
1. Indexer property page and debugger tab have light background for checkboxes giving them striped looks.
2. Error parsers and binary parsers tabs set custom background that is too dark by Mac standards.

I tested the patch on CentOS and found no regressions.

Patch that makes the UI use default background

I visually inspected all property and preference pages in the CDT on Mac and Linux to validate this patch.

I dislike the new look for Error/Binary parsers. Now everything in the tab is on white background, it shouldn't be that way. The buttons are meant to be on gray background like on Build Variables or Environment pages. White background should serve to highlight areas of user input as it does on all other pages.
