Insert the following block in the configuration file: aptitude::UI::Styles ""; aptitude::UI::Styles::Default ""; aptitude::UI::Styles::Default::fg "black"; aptitude::UI::Styles::Default::bg "white"; There is an extensive paragraph on custumizing the colors in the aptitude user's manual, available from the Help menu.
