default colors after install

SUMMARY
Using the default settings, it is hard to see the current file or folder in the panels. Only a dotted rectangle is drawn around the "current" / focused item.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install krusader
2. start krusader, click OK on the welcome and default settings dialog
3. try to find which is the current file/folder in the active panel

OBSERVED RESULT
It is hard to see current file/folder. A hardly distinguishable dotted rectangle is drawn around the current file/folder.


EXPECTED RESULT
The current file/folder should be immediately visible, with some distinct visual element. For example with a specific background color.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In the default configuration, the fact that the "dev" and "bin" folders are the current ones, is hard to distinguish.

In the modified background config, it is immediately obvious which is the current / focused file or folder.
