#1699073 — [PATCH] fbcon: Use background color for margins

Screens that don't have a black border around the active area will have
ugly black bars for the margin when the text background color is not black.
This is especially noticeable on an LCD screen (not the backlit kind) when
the terminal colors are inverted.

Fix by using the same color for the margin that is used in the regular
clear function.

Are you sure? It is quite common to have different backgrounds in
different parts of the screen, how it is supposed to work there?

So you have something like midnight commander, which uses colors.

Lets say top half of screen is normal, bottom one is inverted. What
color will borders be?

Will not they do something stupid (such as changing) when the
curses-based application refreshes?
