I still don't really get what you want to do. Do you want the indicator
to always have the same colors, regardless of the message it points to,
or should it be transparent, so that e.g. the message's foreground color
is preserved? (BTW: "default" depends on your terminal, so if black and
white are switched, try specifying an explicit color.)

I'd like to have the second thing, but that currently only works with
the "bright" attribute. It would be nice if I could say "color indicator
transparent cyan" to have a cyan indicator that honors my foreground
colors. (Maybe one could use "default" for that.)

Has anyone made a patch for that? If not, I'll try to write one.

Christoph
