WP7 - Change multiselectlist checkbox color - windows-phone-7

Question

My app uses a black background which overrides the phones theme color.
With the theme color set to white, the checkbox controls turn black which means they can't be seen on the black background.
How can I change the background color of the multiselectlist item checkbox to white?
Cheers,
Cameron
