Screenshot 2024-09-04 LO 24.2.5.2 NO white cell border

I am not sure where the change to add white cell border highlighting was
discussed. Can someone link that issue please?

I am opposing that change for two reasons:

- the highlighting used in 24.2 did not create any problems I was aware of.
Attached is a screenshot showing the highlighting in 24.2. Can someone link
complaints about this?
- the additional added white cell boarder highlighting inside of the cell
highlighting makes the highlight LESS visible for busy spreadsheets. When there
is lots of white text, the white line obfuscates the colored highlighting
making it HARDER to view the highlighted cell. Thus I claim, while implemented
with good intentions, it is not achieving the intended effect. I'll add a
screenshot comparing with and without the white cell board highlight and you'll
hopefully see what I am referring to.

I would love to see an actual screenshot of what Excel is doing in dark mode
with highlighted cells. Can someone add that?

@Rafael: thanks for elaborating on the thought process for this change. I don't
understand what this has to do with the cursor. The cursor has a white line
around it and you are of course correct, if you state that exists to increase
visibility. BUT I do not think this can be transferred over 1:1 to the logic of
the cell highlighting UI, since that follows other prerequisites.

I am totally not suggesting to make anything customizible in regards to cell
highlighting. Such things should have great defaults. Anything else like dark,
light, high contrast is defined on a system level and LibreOffice should follow
that as best as it can. I am also not suggesting to add any setting.
