We have discussed this before on this mailing list.  WWWOFFLE only
inserts the HTML from the config file around the <a ...>...</a> HTML.
If the contents of that HTML link contain an image or more formatting
then there are likely to be problems.

You are not limited to the options that are in the config file that
comes with WWWOFFLE.  This piece of HTML can be edited as you like to
try and fight back.  For example how about changing the background
rather than the font colour and using CSS to do it.

This one for example works on the Google page (although it is not
particularly pretty).

ModifyHTML
{
 anchor-not-cached-begin   = <span style="background: #b00000">
 anchor-not-cached-end     = </span>
 anchor-cached-begin       = <span style="background: #00b000">
 anchor-cached-end         = </span>
 anchor-requested-begin    = <span style="background: #b0b000">
 anchor-requested-end      = </span>
}
