At least here on linux the link-color is defind in the systems color-scheme. 
Change it and you will get lost in color-theme-hell. Because then you also 
have to care about background and text-color of your label. Otherwise you 
might end up with blue link-text on a blue background. And it will be your app 
that gets blamed (rightly so).

Either not mess with the link-color at all and just ust the systems defaults 
or at least define it only relativ to the system-colors. But even when you set 
it to textcolor.light(), you might get into trouble when that is similar to 
the background color.

Have fun,

Arnold
