In the example there is a strange yellow background on function names, it seems that the syntax highlight use a BOLD attribute. On basic xterm and vte, this BOLD goes unnoticed. When one use xterm resource colorBD see https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html resource also implemented in vte, resource doing the  mapping a color to the BOLD attribute (in the example yellow) it produces this background  color change.

I don't know much about these color mappings, but to me it looks like a bug offhand that
requesting "bold" affects the background color.  It would think that "bold" makes the
foreground text... bold.

If you like it better that way, then maybe others do too.  I don't mind the
new option.

I also wouldn't mind an option to specify a different background color
for the current source line highlight.
