052 - Highlight selected notes with more contrast (not same as when hovering with mouse)

[AlbertR 542]

Problem Description

• In light mode currently selected notes are marked with a light background in a note list
• If you hover with the mouse over an other note, this is highlighted in the same manner:
  • 
  • 052 is selected, 050 is only hovered.
• This is annoying and leads to problems very often (i.e. when hitting the <DELETE> button, that will delete the selected message whereas the user assumes the hovered one...)
• BTW: 

---

Expected behaviour

• Hovered note should be highlighted darker than "normal" background
• Really selected notes (maybe more than 1!) should be highlighted clearly darker than hovered and "normal" background
• BTW: Former versions did the job very well (like Outlook and all others...):
  •

Workaround

• None. Work with care 😤

Agreed. The background/"highlight" issue is the same in Snippet view, but there the selected note in the list at least has a faint blue box around it.

The background/"highlight" issue is the same in Notebook view in left pane, but as follows:

• Hovering over lines in left pane makes the line darker (vs. lighter in note list)
• Selecting a notebook is not visible (vs. lighter in note list)
  • But: Selecting a tag makes in darker 🤔

Best practise should be to follow the same rules in left pane and note list.
