Option 1) Try setting your video board to emulate hercules mode (text mode 7).
Option 2) Step by step:
a) Start RHIDE, if no project is in this directory you'll get the about box, so
just press ENTER to close it.
b) Now press Alt+O (Options)
c) Press E (Environment)
d) Press ENTER (Colors is the first option)
e) The colors dialog will pop-up, it have three columns, the first is the object
you want to customize, the second is which thing of the object you want and the
third is the color palette.
The content of the first column (in case you can't see it) is:

Desktop
Menues
Blue Windows
Cyan Windows
Gray Windows
Dialogs
Blue Editors
Cyan Editors
Gray Editors
InfoViewer
Disassembler
Data Window

You should start with the Menues or Dialogs options.
Pressing tab you can pass from one column to the next. In the lower right corner
you'll see a color sample. You can choose the foreground color (upper half of
the palette column) and/or the background color (lower half) using the mouse
(enclose RHIDE in a window to see the mouse pointer if it isn't visible in full
screen).

Good luck, ask me anything if you have problems, SET
