Chandler, like many applications, displays more than one selection at
the same time e.g. in the sidebar and summary view. Commands can only
operate on one selection, the one that has keyboard focus. To make this
distinction clear we draw selections that don't have the focus in a
lighter shade of selection color than the selections that have the focus.
However, I've notice that people are still confused when a command
doesn't work on a selection that doesn't have the focus. I'm thinking
that we need to make the difference between focused selections and
non-focused selections more distinct, and was wondering what people
think about drawing the non-focused selection in gray rather than a
lighter shade of the selection color.
