Impossible to tell which row is selected out of two

[maxim]

Would you be able to tell which one of the two rows is selected on these screenshots?

I get confused every time. I'm not a UI designer, but looks like the problem is that an active row is not skeumorphic enough on its own. The only way to tell an active row from inactive is by noticing that there is only one active row among many, which doesn't work when there are only 2 of them.

I think a good starting point is that it's always gonna start on the first one from what I know. But I agree, there needs to be more contrast of some kind.

Hi @maxim, I'm not able to see the screenshots as it looks like they require an Evernote account to view.

Any chance you can set them as public or upload via another service?

It's a shame what Evernote has done to Skitch. :( Updated.

There's a slight 3D effect on the selected field which indicates selection for me, but I agree that there could be more of an distinction. Maybe a 1px border around the selected item?

Is there a way to fix the "selected" background color in the Soda Dark theme? The same problem exists in the Find field where selected text has a black background, so, it's impossible to tell what is selected and what isn't on a dark gray background.
