P: LrD 10.0 Filmstrip: current/selected photo isn't sufficiently highlighted

Not really a bug, but with the latest new release of LR, the current/selected photo isn't sufficiently highlighted on the bottom thumbnail strip, to distinguish it from other thumbnails.

 

Looking at the bottom row of thumbails, the current/selected photo should have a border around the thumbnail or a different background color than the other thumbnails. Currently its background color is barely distinguishable from the surrounding/other thumbnail background color

        I mean at least to me it seems fairly obvious which photo is selected, and that's coming from a deranged lunatic who uses their MacBook at the full native resolution with all scaling disabled lol

        Hey, @amazing_Explorer6c7d. Thanks for bringing this up. Your feedback is heard.

        For now, try these customizations and let me know if they help:


        From Lightroom(macOS)/Edit(Win) > Personalize Lightroom, go to:


        1. In General, adjust the Contrast & change the theme from Dark (default) to Dusk

        2. In Organize, change the Filmstrip type from Square Grid to Photo Grid


        Let me know fi this helps.

        Thanks!

        Hi Sameer,

         

        Thanks so much for the quick response!  I did you suggested, but even at max contrast (which is what I already had it set to) in Dark mode, it’s still very difficult to see the difference in the background of the selected photo versus the others.  This is true with Dusk mode as well. I also switched to Light mode to see (even though I don’t use LIght mode) and there is no background or border there to highlight the selected photo at all.

         

        Changing film strip mode did not make any visible difference to the layout or display whatsoever.
