Yep, a set of examples works too.

The colors are not fully configurable yet though.  First, when switching
all five colorsets to "default, default" there are still things which
are colored (top bar, bottom bar, keys help display).  Second there is
no way to set terminal attributes (i.e. "top = bold" or "selected =
reverse").

cheers,
