Comment (by galt):

 Possible solutions that I can think of:[[BR]]
 - Have the background of the entry in focus be blue, like it is for all
 other UI elements that are in focus. Maybe have the blue background of the
 original value shift down to other entries along with the focus. I think
 this would have a nice feel to it.[[BR]]
 - For the entry in focus, use a background color other than black, since
 black is the standard BG color of a terminal.[[BR]]
 - Just change the color (teal) to something that is clearly distinct from
 gray (maybe green or orange?).
