how to can Change the richtextbox default blue highlight color?

Question

I've been looking for the way to change the richtextbox highlight color when a user select text or event mouse move. Windows uses blue as default color.But I want it to be green And blue by default no longer exists.

  private void richIndicateText_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        richIndicateText.Select(0, 50);
        richIndicateText.SelectionBackColor = Color.Green;

    }

I think that you need something like in this answer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11183599/rich-text-box-how-to-highlight-text-block — Marek Derdzinski, Mar 25 '16 at 06:13

 this.richIndicateText.MouseClick += new MouseEventHandler(richIndicateText_MouseMove); //hook

 this.richIndicateText.MouseClick -= richIndicateText_MouseMove; //unhook

 private void richIndicateText_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    richIndicateText.Select(0, 50);
    richIndicateText.SelectionBackColor = Color.Green;

}

I will try my best, maybe something like this ?

Unfortunately, the desired behavior is not possible in Windows Forms (details here). The workaround would be to use a WPF RichTextBox in the Windows Form through ElementHost.
