Quirky Question - Changing the background color of the Virtuoso Schematic Editor to white

Composter

I have been able to successfully change the background color of my schematic editor to white and I've also tweaked the various layers in display.drf (via the Display Resource Manager) so the wires, pins, symbols etc all look great and print out just like they look on the screen. However, the thing that's killing this is the light yellow on white that I get when making a selection rectangle and the yellow on white rubber banding when I'm stretching stuff (i.e. I can't see what I'm doing). I'm so close! Does anybody out there know how I can control those remaining colors so they are appropriate for a white background?

    Thanks for your reply Quek. I already knew about hilight drawing and have that remapping in place. My question specifically related to the 'dynamic' yellow rectangle drawn while making a selection rectangle or the dynamic rubber banding of cells and wires while moving or stretching them. Many people really like the white background but this issue is a deal breaker for them.
