Black Border around highlighted or selected

This was introduced with Windows 11 KB5040442 update, but it's ugly and was wondering if there's a way to remove it in Directory Opus while Visual styles override file selection colors is on?

Turn on Preferences / Colors and Fonts / Windows Colors / Listviews and Opus will override the Windows visual style with its own one, which mimics how Windows 10 looks by default, but also lets you change the colors if you want.

(Not sure what Microsoft are smoking lately.)

Thank you! It was driving me nuts.

Also, there's a TreeView style which Microsoft have also added the solid black rectangle to in the recent Win11 update. You can adjust it in the same way.

We'll change the configuration defaults after 13.8 is out, so people won't have to change this themselves. (Unfortunately, we're too close to releasing 13.8 to do it for that version, as it involved some code and string changes.)
