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

(sorry -- I'm on a bus and we hit a bump and apparently my mail client has
a keybinding that sends email and I hit it ... I guess)

Anyway, I wanted to write that you probably also want to replace the
definition of get-untacked-brush with this one, in that same file.

After doing that, you may need to run "raco setup -Dxi" to recompile the
DrRacket sources (let us know if you run into trouble with this step).

(define (get-untacked-brush white-on-black?)
      (send the-brush-list find-or-create-brush
            (if white-on-black? "black" "white")
            'solid))

Also, I ended up going with "DarkGreen", not "OliveDrab".
