OK!  Changing the fill color from 43b038 to 000000 gave me a black 
background with a green edging in the right column of Watch Recordings.

I changed ALL occurrences of 43b038 everywhere in ..../themes (damn I 
love sed) and being lazy, recompiled everything to install it to 
/usr/local/share/mythtv

And the selection bar in Program Finder is still green....

And I cannot find where it is defined (OK haven't really searched).

Any hints, please?
