Description
I use a terminal that has a semi-transparent background, and in ikal I have this issue, with some elements having a solid color background:
While this is purely visual, it is somewhat of an eyesore. I think it could potentially be fixed by changing colors but I'm not completely sure.
This problem does not exist using khal in the terminal, only in interactive mode.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in ikhal using a terminal with a semi-transparent background, then compare it with khal in the terminal. Trace how interactive-mode colors are assigned; done means the affected elements no longer show solid backgrounds while terminal transparency is preserved.
