Summary: No option to change default background.

Initial Comment:
In my quest to get a light-on-dark theme in the editor, I found the "Default Background" registry option. But there is no control to change that in the "Pythonwin Options"-dialog.

"Default Background" is referenced from pywin\scintilla\formatter.py on line 77:
    bg = int( self.LoadPreference( "Default Background", -1 ) )

I do not have enough knowledge of C++ and windows-programming to attempt to add a new control to the dialog.

Message:
Just committed formatter.py r1.20 and configui.py r1.7,
which allow you to set the overall background via the
"Whitespace background" setting.

Message:
>From looking at the code, it appears that the whitespace
background (registered as STYLE_DEFAULT) was originally
intended to be the overall default background.  This
should be doable without any changes to the UI.  Unless
anybody has any objections, I'll implement this and
remove the hidden registry setting altogether.

Message:
For anyone who would be interested in a light-on-dark theme (rip of the
desert theme from gvim), here is a reg-file with the appropriate settings.
Folding does not work with this theme (and gets disabled my the reg-file),
as it is currently impossible to change the color of the folding-column
trough settings alone. Also, it uses the 'Consolas' font instead of the
default 'Courier New'.
File Added: desert_theme.reg
