Just to clarify something: there's essentially zero chance that the next ipython version will provide for user-level color scheme customizations in a clean, friendly way. I simply have more important improvements I need to work on, with a very finite amount of time for it all. If you send me a patch, I'll be delighted to include it, but otherwise this will take a back seat. The main reason for this is that I'm starting to play with a rewrite of the config file system, to move away from a special plain text format, into using regular python files. This will bring multiple advantages, and once a true python syntax is available to users, these kinds of changes can be allowed with a far cleaner interface than the hacks required right now. So for now, I'd suggest you live with the hacks, while a better, permanent solution arrives. But don't expect that improvement right away.
