--- Comment #23 from Marco Martin <notmart at gmail.com> ---
to me different approaches like not having the highlight over the icon or
adding a shadow (which would have to be reimplemented separatedly over and over
again in dolphin, open dialogs and many other apps as item delegates are often
custom code, so consistency would suffer) look significantly worse.

whether the white folder is a thing good or bad, to me is largely a matter of
taste (personally i do like this look and behavior a lot, and i find much more
pleasing than different options such added borders or shadows)
And is indeed more readable than before.

It may be an actual thing that many people tend to not like coloring the
folders with the highlight color in the first place. The very same thing was
actually done once already in the early 5.x lifecycle, and was quickly reverted
due to backlash, most people being ok with it but those that weren't were VERY
vocal.

I'm wondering if this should be configurable. The only way we would have to
configure it would actually be a different icon theme with *only* the folder
icons which would have non themeable colors, that would fallback to normal
breeze for everything else.
