Hi,
again bugging you with a minor issue. ;)
I believe the highlighting of the menu items is ambigous when the newly
introduced background image is enabled.
Consider you have only two menu items. Which one is 'highlighted',
magenta or black?
Magenta is a dark color (at least on my CRT) and does not provide the
best possible contrast to black. Furthermore i believe that a colored
background indicates the selected menu item in a more obviuos way than
colored text.
Please consider applying the attached patch, it has proven to look nice
on my screen.
If you don't like it, please close this bug.
Cheers,
Fabian
