Changing the background color of the editor

["Ian Brown" <ianbrn gmail com>]

Hello,
Following this thread I am able to change my mc panel colors:
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/MidnightCommanderBlackOnWhiteLikeSourceforge

What I added in ~/.mc/ini is:
[Colors]
base_color=normal=black,white:selected=white,black:marked=blue,white:markselect=black,white:errors=red,white:input=black,white:reverse=white,black:gauge=black,white:directory=black,white:executable=gray,white:stalledlink=lightgray,white:special=gray,white:core=red,white:


However, I also want to change the color of the (default) mceditor I am using
when pressing "F4" (or when running from the bash shell "mcedit filename".
Currently when I use mc (also after I added the [Colors] section
as mentioned above) , the background color in this editor is blue;
I want it to be
white.

Any idea how can this be done?

Any help will be appreciated,
regards,
IB
