My question is if anyone is going to accept this as a reasonable
"feature" addition to alsa-mixer on the main portage tree. I assume
perhaps not, but I can't really see almost any advantage of the forced
black background. If you want a black background, I say run the
terminal that way.
I didn't make the patch, so I have no intention to take the credit
myself, but I didn't want to look like a dunce on bugzilla, but I've
never submitted a feature request that didn't make me look like a
dunce, hence polling opinion here.

The first thing I would do is contact upstream (their -dev mailing
list?) and ask if they're aware of the patch. If know about it, but
refuse to integrate it they may be able to give a good reason.
Stroller.
