3) is good. Keeps the color meaning and improves the visuals, +1 to that.

If you want to go for blue-bg/white-fg, this would require more things
involved, Eike could probably elaborate on that more.

> with the new taskbar we look that the look and feel is consistent between plasma and the applications therefore Uri change the selected application taskbar button to a blue background. The problem is that the blue background couldn't be the same blue than e.g. in the dolphin sidebar cause when you select an element in the sidebar the text color change from "black" to white which isn't possible in the system tray and than the contrast isn't that good in the panel for selected application (gray text on blue background). In addition the blue is very visible. see screenshot before.
