Would these > help solve this problem? You could try the following colour theme I maintain. It is designed with dark backgrounds in mind. To use this, set a custom-theme-directory and put the theme file there. Then load the theme with `M-x load-theme RET'. If you like it you can add the hash to the custom-safe-themes list. A note, you need Emacs 24 for this theme to work. Hope this helps, -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
