Hehe... Yes maybe, but actually I like the dark (not black) backgrounds. Especially on C and C++, since it allows you to use both black and white as highlight colors for syntax :-).
Personally I think that something like background/foreground colour should be global and not per-language basis. But the syntax system will apparently get some kind of overhaul in a Future Version™ I believe...
Yes but making those global can easily interfere with different languages. Of course if ALL your highlights use a black-on-white approach, maybe not... but then you want a teal background and some syntax highlight uses it as a foreground, etc. A more feasible approach, I think, is to make colors for syntax highlight in general more "global" in the sense that you can gather (named) colors in one place, and use them in all highlight bundles. I believe something like that (although not necessarily in that form) is on the idea-board for SyntaxHighlight-ng™.
