Thanks, I can reproduce this now. Unfortunately, its too late to get fixed in FreeRIDE 0.9.0, but I will create a bug report for the next release. I do have a workaround that might help. Since it seems that you want a black background, select "Default style" and change the background to black -- this will effect the background for everything. Now just change the foreground colors to what you want without setting the background color for anything else.
