lynx-dev --enable-color-style and background

[Nathan Dorfman]

Just compiled 2.8.1rel.1 with --enable-color-style. Looks very nice, but
it never sets the background color to black; when running in an xterm
with a non-black background color, we get the xterm's background for
most of the text, but the black background on any text whose attributes
are set by lynx (wuch as links, boldface, etc.).

The Right Thing to do would be just to set the background color to black
and reset it when lynx exits. An alternative would be to use the terminal's
current background color on all text (so at least you don't have spots of
black background amid mostly, say, green), but IMHO this isn't preferred
since you have no idea that all the foreground colors lynx uses for diff-
erent text will contrast well with the terminal's background color or
background pixmap; thus the plain black background would be best.
