Are you using -color on the command line?
The problem with the default colors is that they are not
displayed right -- for example, normal text is defined as
black on white background, but spaces and blank lines still
come out black.  It looks wrong, and no one disagreed last May,
but we're all entitled to our opinion...:)

This is reopening the discussion of last May.
I would like to see all display options put in
the options menu.  Fote already put SHOW_CURSOR in
the options page; I think color options belong there also.
Of course, -color is only supported when compiled with slang,
so the options page might also need to be different for different
versions.
Yet another wish list item...
