Q: Howto alter list selection colors

Quick question:

If I create a PluggableListMorph and want the selection to be a
high-contrast inversion of color (say, white-on-black/blue) instead of the
red-on-grey of the current Squeak, where would I look? How do I control
this?

Looking through Preferences didn't reveal anything relevant, and PLM
doesn't make its internal structure very obvious.

Thanks!

Aha! Sadly, it was all too obvious. ;) Thanks for pointing it out.

I see that PLM actually has a #textColor and #textHighlightColor, but  
not much corresponding to background colors. So, I looked up the  
hierarchy, and tried the method finder for "backgroundcolor" and  
"selectioncolor" but didn't find something corresponding. The closest  
thing I could find was LazyListMorph>>drawSelectionOn: which  
hardcodes a light gray background, which changing successfully  
updates running lists (after a re-display). I'll put something in  
Mantis to improve this with maybe a Preference.
