It would be nice if you could set the background color of the command line box.  Pure white upsets the look and continuity of for example, a transparent panel.

thanks for a great plugin,
grepper

I find that the background reverts to white after use.  Usually I then get dark text, but sometimes I get light text and that makes it unreadable.

I use a dark theme.  I would prefer for verve to remain with light text on the dark background, matching the theme.

Is this something I can configure manually, assuming that there will be a wait for consistent theming?

Aloha, and thank you for all your hard work!

You can use my fork: https://github.com/djh101/xfce4-verve-plugin. I removed two lines that were reverting the font and background color to some "default" value on focus loss which was causing my white font (on a black background) to turn black.
