konqueror: how to change the yellow url background for https?

Since kde 3.4, konqueror uses a yellow background for https:// urls. I would expect to be able to change that, but I found nothing. Is this a security feature making it impossible to optically fake https:// urls - and on the same time making unusable any colour scheme using light fonts on a dark background like CDE (white standard font), as nobody can read white fonts on a bright yellow background?

If it's a security feature: What do you find more secure, having a non-overridable yellow background so that no JavaScript or whatever virus can fake a https connection too easy, or would you prefer to see the url you're submitting to when using an old-school colour scheme?

If it's not: where is the hidden button that I missed?
