Modify color of selected folder in tree when tree not active

Is there a way to specify the color of the currently selected folder in the tree when the tree is not selected? Several times I've found myself looking at the list but wanting to confirm which folder is selected in the tree. And yes, I can check at the top of the app. But with all my various colors for different boxed branches (which I really like being able to do), I sometimes do not immediately see which folder is selected. I'd love to make that folder color some very bright color, but I haven't seen it as an option.

Yep, makes sense, and there's space for it in Configuration | Interface Colors...
... done!
I wonder whether the same color should be used for the focused item in List when the List is unfocused?

Users tend to be strange animals sometimes, so I think having that color choice separate would be ideal...as I might wish to have a more bright color in tree, but a different one in List since those items may be using other colors already.

Actually we have that already! "Focused Item" will color the whole row when "Highlight focused item" is enabled. But when it is disabled I could use that color as highlight of the focused item in a non-focused list!

My 2nd though on this: Forget it! "Focused Item" color setting plus "Highlight focused item" enabled does the job perfectly for the list. And is independent of tree current folder color.
