[racket] White-on-black: how to change the green background when mouse is over an identifier?

I'll do something better in git, but in case you're using 5.3.6, open up
the file gui.rkt (in collects/drracket/private/syncheck) and search
for GreenYellow. Change the string to something else here:


http://docs.racket-lang.org/draw/color-database___.html?q=color-database%3C%25%3E

maybe "OliveDrab".

I was able to set all colours excepted one: the background colour of the
ellipses that appear when the mouse is above an identifier. By default it
is light-green, and this renders the white text above it unreadable.

And selecting "white on black" in the colour tab doesn't help as that
light-green colour is kept unchanged.
