JTextPane lets me set the background color of selected text with the
setSelectionColor method. Though I don't offhand see how to do this
for some other components (like JTree), I imagine there must be a way.

But rather than hunt each component down, is there a way I could set
this in a single place for all swing components in my app? I know I
can do this at the OS level (at least on my mac) but I don't want to
have to presume this kind of knowledge from users, and the default
selection colors lack the visual contrast my app requires.

Thanks in advance,

Reinhard
