Netsurf has a default CSS file that sets up various colours, e.g.
ins { color: green; text-decoration: underline; }
I can't see that it explicitly sets the main body colour (although it
does for text areas), but you could presumably edit additional
definitions in. To be honest I don't know that this would override the
colours set up in the page that it is being asked to interpret, though.
It's not something that any RISC OS browser has ever been asked to do,
to my knowledge.
I'd be rather concerned about why everything on your system is for some
reason defaulting to inverse video and needs to be over-ridden to make
it usable...
