If we do the reverse, the highlight for open app swill be too subtle IMO. Uhm, what if we drew the blue background for the active app? That is what Windows does as well, and I think it makes sense. When you open a widget, the window will lose focus, so there will never be two elements with blue background in the panel. Hover is still clearly visible.

F7766720: Screenshot_20191116_172052.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F7766720> I think that this last one looks much prettier and usable, but that's just an idea I only wanted to try, feel free to tell me that's not a good idea. Also, changing the background colors there could also be done regardless of the line thickness. I just felt like it was much prettier.
