Ah, yes. The comment on

could probably be more clear on that.

I had already actually. The problem is that the background color is
technically limited to the dark palette, i.e. black, gray, and dark
colors. Setting the background of the selection to black is obviously
not correct unless we change the foreground color, but I'm afraid only
changing the foreground color does not provide enough contrast. Leaving
it gray provides confusion about what currently has keyboard focus.
That's why I left it blue, which lets the user know which element is
selected, but still be different from gray, for less confusion.
I don't know if another color would fit better, anybody on the list
would have an idea? To test, just boot the mini-ISO on
http://brl.thefreecat.org/mini.iso
press tab, and type theme=dark
