Improvement to highlight selected poster while browsing libraries

Current behavior:
While browsing libraries on any Plex client, the highlighted poster/title is simply given a narrow white box around the poster tile. If the poster contains a lot of white or light colors, this white highlight border can be almost impossible to see. Which means you may have to hit left/right/up/down button JUST to see where you are. In addition, the poster text/title underneath it does not change at all on the selected poster.

Suggested improvement:

  1. Overlay a narrow dark colored frame around every poster.

  2. Increase the size of the white border around selected posters. This white border should be positioned around the OUTSIDE of the newly created dark frame. This allows the selected poster to be more clearly identified and differentiated from the other poster tiles, regardless of the poster colors.

  3. In the title text area below each poster tile, INVERT the colors of the text & background on the SELECTED poster. This will further differentiate a selected poster tile from the others.

These changes will dramatically improve the instant readability and make it very obvious which poster tile is currently selected.
