Yes. Call up settings.dfl and search for the commented line that
deals with screen and window border colors. The string of
numbers following the commented line adjusts those things, and
the very last one is the one you want to change for graphic view,
and I can certainly see why you would want to because the default
is awful. May I suggest you try 11? That's cyan on black.
