How to reproduce

If the skin file uses an alias for [editor] / _default_'s background color, rather than specifying the color directly, syntax highlighting (e.g. editing a .c file) looks terrible.

At any text that uses a foreground color due to syntax highlighting, the terminal's background color peeks through instead of using the editor's default background colors.

It affects many skins.
