It turns out that using the text background color was not a good choice. So,
I've started over.

Can you explain why making the margins simply match the border colour
(when possible) isn't a better option ? They are after all simply
software extensions to the border.


So, basically, you are proposing that it would be better to add a module parameter to select the margin color? That does sound like a better option to me.
