In the theme area of System Settings they have a feature to download
new themes from KDE. (I guess.) Anyway, I found one called Slim Glow
that addresses this pager issue very nicely. It has a fairly bright
blueish glow that much more prominent in the center of the selected
pager block and very easy to see without having to focus very much.
The theme is considerably darker than Oxygen so I'll have to see how
it feels after a few days but for now this feels like a reasonable
solution for my needs.

Thanks all,
Mark
