Friedrich's eyes are evidently better than ours.  We didn't noticed this
little bluishgray outline when we developed the s2mono scheme.

I cannot imagine why anyone would want this bit of inadvertent color on a
grayscale scheme, so we will change the default color to match the fill color
of the subtitle box in a future ado update.

By the way, the bluishgray outline around by graph subtitles shows in all of
the official monochrome schemes.  They will all be changed.

In the meantime, Friedrich can add the following line to his custom scheme
file that he derived from s2mono.

   color bylabel_outline gs13

That will get rid of the little bluishgray outline.
