Yes but it's a bit complicated because the colour combinations for  
foreground/background are endless.

There used to be some pre-defined colour schemes but I can't find them  
now. I've contacted the developer and asked him where he's "hidden"  
them ;)

As an experiment, go into Config/Display/Colors and select "User/ 
Newsgr". Hit the "Text" button and a colour picker should now appear  
and you can then move the cursor around in there until you find a  
combination that suits your taste. Notice how the colours change when  
you move the cursor around :)

Once you're happy with your choice, hit <Enter> followed by <Esc>,  
then hit the "Save" option followed by the "OK" button. If you make a  
mess, you can get back to the default colour settings by hitting the  
"Default" button.

This is just one example which may help to get you started.

Regards,
Martin
