The bg colour is set to black somewhere but for some reason it doesn''t
work here. I''ve switched my terminal bg colour to light green so that I
can still read all text. It''s a little bit annoying though. So if you
can tell me how to make sup background black I''d be happy.

I haven''t taken the time yet to investigate the issue.

I did my color configuration according to the following page:

http://sup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?CustomizingColors

That provides this very useful command which reads all the default
color settings and puts them into a configuration file that you can
easily edit:

ruby -rubygems -rsup -e ''print
Redwood::Colormap::DEFAULT_COLORS.to_yaml'' > ~/.sup/colors.yaml

You know, I don''t think it would be a crazy idea for sup to
automatically dump that there on its first run. Or perhaps better,
sup-config could do it, (and could even ask if the user would prefer a
black-on-white or a white-on-black default color scheme).
