Hi Surinder,

This change seems to be different from the other patterns for selected / highlighted options. Is there a reason why this needs to be more visible than it already is? In terms of feedback on the tree, we have not heard any pains from users that this is not visible enough.

​I agree it is visible enough but only with tree with 8 to 10 levels. If we think broader considering the case where function node may contain thousands of functions and then scrolling to previously selected function will become tougher.

Also, If we implement search by typing on selected node in future as in pgAdmin3, the selected node will be highlighted but finding selected node among other nodes will be painful due to lighter blue background..

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. What's your motivation for this change? I've also never heard of any complaints about this.

​Two reasons:

1. If i select a function having long name from a list of 150 functions and then switch to query tool and then again i look for selected function, being light blue background it gets difficult to find selected function among 150 functions.

If background would be dark blue, it is easier to spot.

2. I liked the node selection in pgAdmin3 where selected node is highlighted with dark blue background. In pgAdmin4, only label of selected node is highlighted with light blue.

If this patch seems unreasonable, please ignore the patch.
