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.

Look at:

PluggableListMorph>>textHighlightColor: aColor "Set my default text highlight color." self setProperty: #textHighlightColor toValue: aColor.

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.
