The Atari Lynx driver has a few tgi-abused features like:

"Calling tgi_setbgcolor(bgindex) or tgi_ioctl(2, bgindex) will set the 
text background color to the index defined by bgindex. If bgindex is 0 
then the background color is transparent."

I use this feature a lot for highlighting menu screens.

For other Lynx specific tgi-abused features see the docs:
