ok. I think there's something to appease everyone right now - I'd rather
let it go as is, to see what problems arise.

it would be nice if I could (somehow) make the color map adapt dynamically
to make everything get good contrast. Even the example that I got in
feedback was still more readable than the darker blue on black. (Bear in
mind that when I setup color resources in 1996/1997, the choice was for
names that were present in X11R5 and X11R6 rgb.txt, since I didn't trust
the numeric specifiers - and I was usually making white backgrounds).

yes - I did notice that, but since it didn't break it badly enough to make
it unreadable, I just put up with it. It did puzzle me what was going on
until I looked at the resources.
