I simply prefer the Orange, but there is a bigger issue.
In some situations, such as adjusting the subtitle offset, I cannot tell which button is highlighted because all are white, and the new highlight color is a tiny bit whiter than the others, I can’t tell which is highlighted with just a look, I have to move back and forth between the buttons to pick up the difference.
+1 on this, it’s much harder to tell what is highlighted and the orange/yellow was much more visible. Now it looks like that particular area isn’t “selected”, especially because there are other areas of orange/yellow like the unwatched markers.
