Summary: Suggestion on improving selection markers' visual
consistency

SUMMARY
I have 2 suggestions on improving the visual consistency of Dolphin's selection
markers. Please allow me to explain them separately below.
1) A Square Plus selection marker:
Right now the "Plus" (+) selection marker in Dolphin is round. It creates
visual inconsistency because almost everything else including the "Minus" [-]
icon is sharp and rectangle. It really stands out right now as a green round
icon and doesn't match anything else there.
2) Do not highlight selection markers with colors:
Right now the (+) icon turns green and the [-] icon turns red when cursor is
over them. Again this creates visual inconsistency because KDE's visual style
is very grey-white-oriented and low-key-elegant. The green and red used here
are way too intense and they stand out in a bad way.
Although they serve their functions, I think we can either:
a) Turn it down a notch so they look greyish-green/red
b) Use blue instead of green, use orange-yellow instead of red
c) Use only transparency difference as over hints
Thank you!
