Indicator colors can be changed now, All you have to do is overriding the colors on your Window, UserControl or even BusyMask resources as following:

<Window.Resources>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IndicatorForeground" Color="Orange" />
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="IndicatorBackground" Color="WhiteSmoke" />
</Window.Resources>

You can also use gradients:

<LinearGradientBrush x:Key="IndicatorForeground" StartPoint="0.5,0" EndPoint="0.5,1">
    <GradientStop Offset="1" Color="#eaafc8" />
    <GradientStop Offset="0" Color="#654ea3" />

Not all indicators have background, so that change background might not affect all indicators.
