new highlight

Hi there, I would like to leave my feedback here about the item selection
highlight in Dolphin after the upgrade to version 25.08.0.

Personally, I prefer the old format, but I understand the idea of this new one.
However, the new one feels a bit clunky for me. Specifically, I don't like the
visual feedback that it provides after selecting an item. The fact that the
background inside the square flashes feels like the selection isn't "right"
somehow. It reminds of the behavior of some buggy applications that I had used
in the past.

I think the old format where you select and it paints the entire file and name
blue works best.

To be clear, my problem is when clicking to select a item. After it is
selected, the highlight itself is fine, but I don't like the visual feedback of
clicking and it flashing the background of the square, as it feels that I made
something wrong (such as double-clicked, when, in fact, I did not).


Thanks.
