Changing the background color of popUpCtrl

The default for this control's background for the list of items is grey - how can it be changed?

Thanks

Take a look at common/ui/defaultProfiles.cs

This file defines the basic behaviour of the GUI controls.

if(!isObject(GuiControlListPopupProfile)) new GuiControlProfile (GuiControlListPopupProfile)
{
   opaque = true;
   fillColor = "255 255 255";
   fillColorHL = "128 128 128";
   border = true;
   borderColor = "0 0 0";
   fontColor = "0 0 0";
   fontColorHL = "255 255 255";
   fontColorNA = "128 128 128";
   textOffset = "0 2";
   autoSizeWidth = false;
   autoSizeHeight = true;
   tab = true;
   canKeyFocus = true;
   bitmap = ($platform $= "macos") ? "./osxScroll" : "./darkScroll";
   hasBitmapArray = true;
};

I think the color of the background comes from *somewhere* in the "darkScroll" bitmap - but I can't figure out where.

Sure it's not fillColor or fillColorHL?

Ack - fillColor did work. But I had to change it in "GuiPopUpMenuProfile". I might have an older version.
