(In reply to the.entropyst from comment #0) Discussed at https://discuss.kde.org/t/i-dont-believe-that-the-new-dolphin-highlight-is-an-improvement/38590/9?u=rokejulianlockhart, if of any use. This affects all view modes, but not outside them.
Do you use fractional scaling? But yes I agree it's bit blurry. Need to look into it again.
(In reply to Akseli Lahtinen from comment #2) This reproduces, for me, on whatever display the Framework 16 utilises, at 145% (fractional), but also at 100% on my AOC Q3279WG5B. Consequently, no: it's not caused by that.

Git commit 361a65d3fd3f3da217748b845875d4de3464e9a5 by Akseli Lahtinen. Committed on 18/08/2025 at 16:20. Pushed by akselmo into branch 'master'. KItemListWidget: Use strokePath instead of drawPath StrokePath gives the focus frame a less blurry look Since the path is bit thinner now, we need to adjust the alpha level to make it easier to see. This is especially visible in dark themes. M +5 -5 src/kitemviews/kitemlistwidget.cpp https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/361a65d3fd3f3da217748b845875d4de3464e9a5
