From the image provided by the poster, it appears that the theme is Ambiance.
The following bit of code will provide some relief:
* {
outline-style: solid;
outline-offset: -2px;
outline-width: 2px;
}
Route #1:
This code can be added to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css using a plain text editor. (If the file and folder don't exist, just create them.)
* {
outline-style: solid;
outline-offset: -2px;
outline-width: 2px;
outline-radius: 2px;
}
You can look at CSS outline properties for more options.
It should be noted that
- code placed in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css will affect all gtk3 applications (such as Nautilus) and the chosen gtk3 theme.
- the values can be tweaked to one's needs.
- omitting a color maybe preferable so that contrast is available irrespective of the background color involved.
Route #2:
If you like to try other themes, modifying ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css may not be the best way to go unless you're absolutely sure that there code should be applied to all gtk3 themes.
I prefer to edit the theme itself so that the change is restricted to a particular theme.
In this case, I edited usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.20/gtk-widgets.css so that the top few lines looked like this:
* {
-GtkHTML-link-color: #f07746; /* @link_color */
-GtkIMHtml-hyperlink-color: #f07746; /* @link_color */
-GtkTextView-error-underline-color: #df382c; /* @error_color doesn't work due to a gtk bug */
-WnckTasklist-fade-overlay-rect: 0;
background-origin: border-box;
background-clip: padding-box;
outline-style: solid;
outline-offset: -2px;
outline-width: 2px;
}
.background {
color: @fg_color;
background-color: @bg_color;
}
The three lines starting with "outline-" are the lines I added.
In the animation below, notice that the outline color differs depending on the background:
