Log Message:
Set the attribute to LIGHTGRAY before clearing the screen. This helps with the "darkgray" background issue when using xterm.
i just realized you are using xterm... i saw your video the other day and yeah,
that light gray background could be real annoying... i don't see that problem with my konsole, terminal over here...
Apparently if the foreground attribute has the high intensity
attribute set and a CRLF or a clear-screen sequence is sent, the new (blank) lines (normally, black) will have the high intensity
*background* attribute set (or it just looks that way). I don't
understand why... yet.
i hope you find it... could it be related to ICE color processing? i think that's the one that allows hibit oclors for the background, isn't it?

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.
... We feed our baby onions so we can find it in the dark.
