I've got an .idx with the following lines:
--------------begin---------------------
# The original palette of the DVD
palette: 000000, ffffff, 000000, faff1a, ffffff, bebebe, 14bef3, ea12eb, 
faff1a, 000070, 067506, 731f03, 095f78, 750975, 7c950b, ffffff

# Custom colors (transp idxs and the four colors)
custom colors: ON, tridx: 1000, colors: ffffff, 000000, 000000, 000000
-------------end------------------------
, and the last line really affects the way mplayer displays subtitles. Maybe 
the same lines could be added to batman.idx ?
