elogv fails to correctly display the list of logs if rxvt-unicode (or xterm) background is set to black instead of white.

here a screenshot of elogv on a black background: http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/5732/blackfz9.png; here instead a screenshot on a white background: http://img397.imageshack.us/img397/7518/whitekz6.png

i'd like to try the patch but i don't know how to edit the elogv ebuild after having put it in /usr/local/portage...

you can simply patch the /usr/bin/elogv executable file after installing it, use these commands:

$ cp /usr/bin/elogv .
$ patch -p0 elogv < elogv-urxvt.patch
$ ./elogv

or if you want the patch to be system-wide, apply it directly on the /usr/bin/elogv file.
