The color of the font in the selected entry is made by XORing the
background of the selected entry (called CWM_COLOR_FG_MENU in the
source) with the background of the unselected entries (called
CWM_COLOR_BG_MENU) and then XORing the result with the color of the
font in the unselected entries. See menu_init() in menu.c for details.

An additional option to choose the color of the font in the selected
entry has also been one of the suggestions made by Thomas Pfaff. This
seems to require a bit more work, unfortunately. Maybe I'll take a look
at it later or someone else will step in.

Thanks, I didn't notice this with my settings:
color selectedentry   red
color unselectedentry black
color font            green

Turning off hinting makes it even worse. Turning off antialiasing does
help, but that cure is actually worse then the disease.
