You can never satisfy everyone, and will get into endless fights about which is best. I believe the current approach in nconfig works best, as I am using the default terminal colors for the main body of text (menus, help text, etc), and only use colors for emphasis (headings, boxes, etc). This is based on the belief that users have already chosen the colors which work best for them, and are already using them in their teminal's config. > - I get a visual glitch (see Exhibit A below) in General setup (patch > ?slapped onto 2.6.32); the left frame part is missing. I cannot reproduce this. Can you provide some more details?

Thanks for catching this. It is a by-product of the code for presenting everything inside a single menu. Easily fixed in the next version. By the way, is anyone using this option at all? It would much simplify the code if I did not have to support the one giant menu option.
