Ok, I'll look into making it configurable. However, I find the current default appearance hard to use, so maybe one could consider changing the defaults in that case? Not only does it make the text easily legible, but also the whole symbol less cluttered when selected. You can still select

I'm on the fence about the text highlighting, on the one hand not doing it does make it so the text is still easily legible when selected, but on the other it can be nice to show that it is part of the selected symbol. I think this would definitely be a case where making it a configurable option

Hi Jeff, On Linux (debian) looks good (a kind of light blue) until you don't select the same blue as background color, so this seems a good default, but having it configurable in the color selection will help in that case (consideried also that load/save of color schemes is coming soon). A

Hi Nhat, The colours of the “shadows” are the same as the elements themselves — so they can be configured the normal way. And yes, the shadow width scales with the zoom factor. It’s not 100% the same across all zoom sizes as it looks more consistent if it’s bumped up a little a larger zooms.

OK, I tried a bunch of things out. None of them were terribly satisfactory. Bolding sounded good, but turned out to be even less noticeable than the brightening. The yellow "drop-shadow" looked good on unfilled symbols, but was completely unnoticeable on symbols with a background fill (which

Many options would be better than the current selection color, which as you mentioned is not noticeable using the default color palette. Your proposal above sounds good to me. A single color for multiple elements, if it catches the eye, would be better than not being able to find the highlighted
