Color of click-and-drag selection box in Lucid Lynx

[brianjbowers]

How to change the color of the click-and-drag selection box that is used to select icons on the desktop? (Lucid has the "human" orange color by default, but I'd like to change it if possible.)

I tried this:
System → Preferences → Appearance → Customize → Colors → Selected items → Background
but that only affects the selected icons' color.

Any ideas?

EDIT:I think this may do the same as your method. Not sure what color you want to change.



sudo apt-get install gnome-color-chooser
