The background color can now be changed locally for the use case role but NOT for the actor or actor role.
Changing the background and foreground color globally works for the actor and actor role though.

Fixed - The actor symbol head now respects the nodes background color.

ops, changing background works initially until a global background change. After changing the backgound globally, the
local background no longer works. Another problem: if I changed the background locally then change the it globally, the
one that was changed locally still gets changed in the global change. Maybe a separate issue should be opened. 

I am closing this issue since the reason for reopening the issue is covered by the Issue 144514.
