Hello there fellow Ubuntuers!

I have a small question, been looking over the net but couldn't really find an answer to this one. I want to change the colour of the square you draw on your desktop when you want to select multiple items. By default it is blue I think.

Can anyone help me out?:)

System > Preferences > Appearence > Customize > Colors. The "selected item" color is used to draw this "select square".

Thank you, although with my theme selected I can't edit the colours. Is there some sort of workaround for this?

try using the gnome-color-chooser (its in the repos but i use one i built myself) it allows you much better control over your colours than the one in the appearance gui
