[plt-scheme] trivial color issue in DrScheme

That's a property of the OS, not something that can be controlled from
the Scheme level (it may be possible to adapt mred to provide more
preferences for that).

So, I think you're best bet is to try to find a highlight color that
looks good in both white-on-black and black-on-white.
