I've also seen other terminal emulators use a black background with xterm or xterm-256color and everything works just fine. > Doesn't xterm, the application, have the same problem?

Maybe emacs has such an option as well? -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
