What I did was ditch KCON for ViNCed and turned on the "swap ansi colors" option to get a black background. After that I read the complete document to ViNCed and set it up to work identical to how KCON works. There are quiet a few extra features of ViNCed that really help getting around in shelldom. Also, since I do some telnet programming, I use ViNCed to display the standard ASNI color table. That's not something you can do with KCON without locking the palette down to some really funky settings.
