New description:

 When using ncurses, there is problem with setting default color to
 transparent on capable terminals. This is caused by color index going from
 0+ but the default terminal color is -1 in ncurses. So mc doesnt show true
 default color, but BLACK. [[BR]]

 This also has to be dependant on terminal support, if it supports default
 colors or not. Good inspiration about this is in htop source -> CRT.c ->
 CRT_setColors
