First of all, thanks for the patch and the screenshots!

It should be added that the "new" look would match the look of 
KFilePlacesView, i.e., the look of Dolphin's Places Panel in KDE <= 4.8. In 
particular, it makes sure that the red color of the "Root" place is preserved 
(the user who reported this considered the color change distracting, and I 
agree that it can be considered a bit odd).

However, when we change this, the behaviour of the Places Panel would be 
different from the one of the DolphinView. This is most obvious when using 
Details View. I'm not really sure what the best solution is. There are several 
options:

a) Apply the patch as it is.
b) Only remove the color change, and do not extend the selection rectangle.
c) Don't change anything.
d) Like a), but do the same change in the DolphinView.
e) Like b), but do the same change in the DolphinView.

I'm not entirely sure what the 'right' approach is, but considering that the 
wish report did not get much feedback, it's not clear if it's really worth 
adding extra complexity to implement this.

Any other opinions? Do we know how other file managers do it (I don't have any 
others to test here right now)?

I implemented option d.) So you can decide what looks better, the old or the 
new Dolphin look. ;) 

I hope you and the other Dolphin users like it. 
Thanks for the new patch, Emmanuel!

I'm still not quite sure what look is best :-/

I've tried Emmanuel's patch #2 and it looks fine to me. However,  it took me 
some time to actually notice the difference between the current situation and 
patched dolphin. It probably does look a little better, but i don't use Places 
panel (and i'm not really convinced it looks better in the DolphinView ), so 
can't really say
