Highlights MUCH more obvious please

Feature description

See this video, the highlighed button is pretty much impossible, or extremely difficult to distinguish from other buttons… the highlight should be much, much more obvious, like the red line around this feature request box on this website, very obvious, very clear…

Problem solved

not knowing what button is selected, navigation is very difficult.

Brought benefits

easy navigation, pull out less of my hair

Device type

Android TV

I searched existing feature requests

This came up on the Discord not too long ago, so I will mirror the info I wrote there. Tldr: the highlights use colors from your Color Theme, but the forced transparency of the highlight somewhat hinders visibility of even the brightest colors.

onSurface and primary are the color slots you are looking for. There are at least two different highlights

Do note that the UI highlight has forced transparency on it, so you won’t get any solid, vibrant color on it

Hi, can’t highlights also be an opaque OUTLINE of your choosing?

Like the thin red line on this forum…

Today on my Android TV box, the highlights were nearly invisible. I’ve got really sensitive eyes for colour matching, did colour correction as part of my work in video production… and yet the highlight of the blue rectangles was almost impossible to distinguish which one was selected. I was busy choosing which buttons to have on the left side of the home screen, and a large popup of choices are all blue, with no dicernable outline, only blue and a very slightly different blue.

Please add the ability to have a universal bright, solid outline for the currently selected item… ?

here is a little video of buttons similar to the blue buttons I could not distinguish today.
