System Information
Windows XP 32bit, ATI RADEON HD 4500

Blender Version
Broken: 2.70.0 19e627c
Worked: 2.69.0

Short description of error
Something has changed in the color of the header on a frame node. It is taken the "Text" color of the Themes setup, so it is black. If I set a text label and a color for my frame, the header is not visible enough. Before it took a clear color (I don't know from which feature it came).

If I change the "Text" color, then the text of the nodes will be difficult to see.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Add a frame.
Set label color for the frame. As the header

Here's the commit 80f3956972

I will leave the decision up to the UI team how we want to determine frame label colors. Can do the implementation, but no idea what would work in all cases here ...

I'm putting this on the ToDo list. Best solution would be to draw the text with 2 colors, an brighter main color with a dark outline, to give sufficient contrast in all cases. Unfortunately seems we don't have any precedence for this yet, could be a bit tricky to implement.

Further details:

In 2.69 the color of the frame label was in Theme Node Editor >> Node Backdrop

In 2.70 the color of the frame label is in Theme Space Settings >> Text

A fast solution for me is put that Text property in a clear color, for example white, but all the text inside the nodes uses this setting.

You can see these screenshots:
