           Summary: Dolphin drag-and-drop: the change in appearance of a
                    folder icon, whilst targeted, is almost invisible

SUMMARY

Confusion can arise from there being no good visual confirmation of the folder
that is to be targeted for a drop. 

Dolphin will benefit from a visual hint that is _properly_ visible. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Breeze Light colours (the default)
2. details view mode
3. open a tab to a directory with some files and a tree of subdirectories
4. disclose (expand) the tree
5. split view
6. in the left pane, select files
7. drag
8. in the right pane, without dropping, hover over one subdirectory, then
another

OBSERVED RESULT

9. the targeted directory becomes _less_ visible

   * marginally decreased contrast

   * the dark outline of the folder icon becomes marginally less dark

EXPECTED RESULT

9. the targeted directory should become _more_ visible, should be
_distinguished_

   * the one folder icon should be significantly, unmistakably 
      different from other folder icons

   * consider a change of colour from light to dark for 
     the fill within the outline of the folder icon.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The (looping animated GIF) screen recording at

Identification of the bug followed a period of disorientation, during which the
change in appearance of targeted folder icons was – effectively – entirely
invisible to the end user (the topic began at
<https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/84361/>).
