Bug Description

"Would be nice" to be able to change the colors of selected text on a per-style basis. This way I could make selected text in e.g. the Amber style match the theme.

I think it will be possible to change this in the same way that we modify the cursor colour - by using gtk rc. Will have a look into it later to see if its possible

http://ometer.com/gtk-colors.html suggests that this might be accomplished by doing the same thing we currently do for other colours, but using STATE_SELECTED instead of STATE_NORMAL.

I might try this out tonight and see if I can make it work.

I looked at that a while ago and I think we would have to use the
gtk.rc_parse (I think dont have the code near me) that we use to change the
cursor colour. I just couldn't find the relevant bits to change - the joys
of trawling through references again. Let us know if you have any progress.

changed from "black foreground on selections" to "background color is new foreground color when selected" (as users would expect it, especially those with black foreground colors)

apart form that, works for me.
