If you turn an old theme into a V5 theme with the required rtconfig entry, you can then freely steal the item_bg from a V5 theme who's item colouring you like and just drop it in, and get the expected outcome. So obviously that's desirable.

However, you would then see no custom colour whatsoever without adding some transparent bits to the preV5 TCP/MCP panel images, since its a overall theme setting. Adding a blanket amount of transparency would duplicate the old method (sort of), so that would at least give you the V5 item colouring with no panel change. But that sounds like an awful lot of messing about for not much return, IMO.

For old themes to move into the future, in all practicality at some point someone's got to do a bit of work.
